I'm so glad that Republicans have nothing else better to spend their money on other than solidifying Frankens lead. Franken was at 225 votes and now is at 312 thanks to Norm Coleman's instance that we open up and count another 400 Absentee Ballots.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Democrat Al Franken’s lead in Minnesota’s U.S. Senate race has grown to 312 votes after hundreds of absentee ballots were added to the race.

A three-judge panel ruled that the rejected absentees should be opened and counted after hearing weeks of testimony in a lawsuit brought by Republican Norm Coleman.

Franken led by 225 votes going into Tuesday’s count of the absentees. He gained more from the 351 absentees that the judges allowed than Coleman did
