Coleman Lead Shrinks to 174
The recount started yesterday in Minnesota and GOP Sen. Norm Coleman's 215 vote lead is down to 174, according to a Star-Tribune article this morning. 18% of the vote was recounted.
At this rate, Coleman would have a lead of about 5 votes when it's over. Of course, it's doubtful the recount would continue at this rate, but it is an amusing coincidence.
However, both candidate's camps challenged 269 ballots, so it's not clear what the count would be after those are resolved.
