MassVote circulated the information below (On the left side of their site is a map of Massachusetts votes. Note that Middleboro represents a 12% increase over the previous election.) -

In Minnesota, there is a raging recount in the race between incumbent Senator Norm Coleman (R) and challenger Al Franken (D). With 2.9 million ballots cast, only a couple hundred votes separate the two candidates.

Luckily, citizens in Minnesota vote on paper ballots, just like we do in Massachusetts. The recount happening today in Minnesota would be impossible in any of the states that use only direct electronic voting machines.

Yet recounts are never easy. How would you decide? Check out the great display of challenged ballots posted by Minnesota Public Radio and see how you would evaluate the votes.
