Franken makes it clear he will not rest until he steals Minnesota
Using the same illogical approach that Gore tried to use, Franken wants the undervotes counted to his tally. Undervotes are ballots where no choice was made for Senate race. So naturally those voters really wanted Franken so much that in their excitement to vote for Obama they forgot to vote for Franken.
An Associated Press analysis of votes in the tight, still-to-be decided race for a U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota shows that most ballots lacking a recorded choice in the election were cast in counties won by Democrat Barack Obama.
The finding could have implications for Republican Sen. Norm Coleman and Democrat Al Franken, who are headed for a recount separated by the thinnest of margins — a couple of hundred votes, or about 0.01 percent.
About 25,000 ballots statewide carried votes for president but not for the Senate race. Although some voters might have intentionally bypassed the race, others might have mismarked their ballot, or optical scanning machines might have misread them.
