Breaking: Big Win For Franken

by Zack Stephenson | 1 Comment

The Court has ordered the counting of some 400 absentee ballots. The ballots will be opened and counted on April 7. Still trying the interpret the rest of the ruling, but this looks like a big win for Franken.

UPDATE: My understanding is that the court has not ruled on the so called “double counted” ballots and a handful of other issues. This ruling is confined only to the absentee ballots. This is still a big win for Franken because the number of ballots the court ordered to be counted is so small, Coleman would have to win 80% or so to make up Franken’s lead. That is simply not going to happen. There is a conference call briefing later today, we’ll have more then.

    I actually read this order as ruling on all issues. Paragraph 6 of page 2 of the order reads “Any other relief not specifically ordered herein is denied.” That language is broad, but it sure seems clear. It seems to mean that all of Coleman’s requests (and Franken’s for that matter) for relief beyond counting more absentee ballots are denied.
