Coleman Fails in Attempt to Block Counting of Absentee Votes

Coleman Tried to Block Some Votes from Senate Race Recount
Sen. Norm Coleman has failed in an attempt to block some absentee ballots from being counted in his close race with Democrat Al Franken. Franken was at last count trailing by about 220 votes.



An Associated Press analysis of votes in the tight, still-to-be decided race for a U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota shows that most ballots lacking a recorded choice in the election were cast in counties won by Democrat Barack Obama.

The recount is scheduled to begin on Nov 19.
