Al Franken got a couple of boosts in the Senate Recount today- they're going to count the absentee ballots and the State Canvassing Board has determined to use election night results for that Minneapolis precinct that lost 133 votes after election night but before the recount.
Team Coleman responded to this by forcing the absentee ballot issue to the State Supreme Court so that a general standard for counting the ballots can be established before things get going. They being on the side of angels that they are, want to 'avoid a chaotic Florida situation.' But, either way you come down on this call, it does make sense to avoid chaos.
So some good news for Franken- he doesn't have it in the bag by any means, but he's not out of the running either.
