Coleman Lead Dwindles to 43

The Canvassing Board today heard Coleman's challenges to ballots and as the day wore on his lead shrunk to 43 votes, according to the Star Tribune.

No one knows where this will come out in the end because, in part, no one knows when it will end. The Coleman campaign says some ballots are being double counted and the Franken campaign says some absentee ballots were improperly rejected and should be included.

FiveThirtyEight.com made a very rough calculation of just the challenged ballot part of the process, and wrote that at the rate things were going, Coleman would win by one vote.
