1. Less than half have been recounted and the larger districts will probably come in last.

2. Yes, but the tally I was reading last night had Franken down by only 150 votes or so!

5. That is with the current numbers compared with the original numbers.
It's overall net gain for Al.

3. Yes, and the largest three counties that have yet to be counted...
went big for franken in the election. It's not time to worry.

8. That's not true.
Hennepin, St. Louis and Ramsey have all started their counts. All are very good Franken counties. They have not finished their counts, but they have certainly started them.

4. Of all the ballots recounted, Coleman leads by that margin.
But heavy Franken precincts have yet to be recounted.

And despite the large lead Coleman has in the recount at this point, Franken has still gained close to 70 votes over Coleman in these Coleman dominated precincts. One would think that margin would increase once heavy Franken precincts start to get recounted.

9. The Star Tribune site starts with the final tally on Nov 4
Then adds and/or subtracts as the new totals come in during the recount.

Here is the link. Right now, the gap has narrowed to +136 in Coleman's favor.
