Franken Picks Up 87 Votes From Just Opened Ballots


ST. PAUL, Minn. — Democrat Al Franken's lead in Minnesota's U.S. widened Tuesday to 312 votes after previously rejected absentee ballots were added to the counting.


Franken did better than by a nearly 2-to-1 margin as the ballots were opened and counted as part of a lawsuit brought by Coleman over the statewide recount. A three-judge panel ruled earlier that 351 ballots had been improperly rejected during the election and should be restored.

I don't quite understand why all absentee ballots aren't open for every election (assuming they are mailed and delivered on time)? Why are there a certain amount of ballots that aren't counted to begin with? I haven't kept up with all the legal wrangling going on in MN. Can someone clear this up for me?

Thanks.

Dukester, I don't care about the party. I only care about the welfare of this country.
