As has been widely expected, Al Franken has made up ground quickly in the Minnesota recount, now down just 5 votes according to the Star-Tribune website, during today's Minnesota State Canvassing Board review of Coleman-challenged ballots.
A vast majority (80%) of Coleman challenges turned out to be clear Franken votes. This compares with just 57% of Franken challenges that went to Coleman, according to the live-streaming website The Uptake.
Franken is expected to take the lead tomorrow as more Coleman-challenged ballots are adjudged in Franken's favor. With 1,016 Coleman challenges in the hopper at the beginning of the day, expect to see Franken's post-challenge lead to be roughly 400 votes, before withdrawn challenges are factored in. Those withdrawn challenges should favor Coleman, though, since Franken has withdrawn 341 more (presumably Coleman votes) than Coleman has withdrawn (presumably Franken votes).
That would leave the projected margin, after all challenges have been adjudicated and added in, at about 60 votes in Franken's favor according to my math, or 90 votes in Franken's favor, according to the Star-Tribune's projection. The counting and adjudication of challenged ballots will continue tomorrow.
At that point, only improperly rejected absentee ballots would remain to be counted, which are also expected to work in Franken's favor.
