We risk an election meltdown worse than the Florida 2000 debacle when the presidential election came down to hanging chads and chaos. This time we are looking at another razor close result and perhaps another recount.

The legal teams have made their closing arguments and the trial has concluded as the three-judge panel will now deliberate for, likely, a period of weeks to determine who won the 2008 U.S. Senate race in Minnesota.

US Senate Candidate Al Franken let loose and made jokes as his legal team prepared for Monday's election contest trial that could determine who is Minnesota's next US Senator.

Al Franken says state law prevents a re-do of the recount; Norm Coleman says the opposite. Today at 2:30 CST, a three-panel judge will hear the first motion in the Senate race's election contest.

The Minnesota's State Canvassing Board ruling left open the door for local election officials to sort through rejected absentee ballots and determine if any were improperly rejected.

A vote for Al Franken is a vote for the lizard people!

The Al Franken campaign today produced ballots challenged by the Norm Coleman for Senate campaign and pointed out an interesting pattern.

Coleman's repeated attempts to stop the recount and tarnish the process are not only undemocratic, they're examples of why Minnesotans -- and the nation -- should hope the recount finds for Franken.
