Minnesota finished recounting its ballots Friday, save for the 133 that most people thought went missing from a pro-Franken precinct earlier in the week.

In yet another twist to the recount, the Star-Tribune reported that "In the process of searching Friday for the Minneapolis ballots thought to be missing, officials rummaging through a supplies box spotted a plastic bag containing 12 uncounted absentee ballots. Those ballots, which weren't included in the recount figures, will be forwarded to the Canvassing Board for resolution."

The count now shows Coleman up by 192 votes.

But no one has any idea how this will turn out. The 192 figure assumes all challenges by each campaign will be upheld, which is absurd since nearly all of them will be dismissed.

If you ignore all the challenges, then Coleman would be up by 97 votes.

Franken's campaign claims they are now up by four votes, based on nonpublic information compiled by their campaign. They claim to have compiled how the local election judge initially ruled on a ballot before it was challenged. The theory is that the local judge almost always got it right. The problem with this data is pretty obvious, and we have no idea if it is a PR stunt or not.

Then there is the matter of whether another 500 to 1,000 ballots that were allegedly improperly rejected should be included, opened and counted.

Or what issues might be litigated.

And of course, the US Senate has the constitutional authority to decide who won.

Political (and baseball) statistics wiz Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight.com looked at all the scenarios about the recount and concluded "Minnesota's recount is a long way from over. If you put a gun to my head and asked me to predict the winner, I would tell you to shoot me."
