Al Franken and Norm Coleman campaign buttons.

A result by next week?

 

Here's the latest on the still-unresolved Minnesota Senate race between Norm Coleman (R), who sought a second term last November, and Al Franken (D), who currently leads by 225 votes:

The three-judge panel that has been hearing the case has just ruled that up to 400 previously rejected absentee ballots should be opened and counted -- a much smaller number than the Coleman camp had been asking for.

The 400 or so ballots may also include those that favor Franken.

The ballots will delivered to the secretary of state's office next Monday, April 6, and opened and counted the following day.
