Democrat Al Franken held an unofficial lead of 225 votes over Coleman, according to a newspaper tally of officials’ count of the absentee ballots. Franken had led unofficially by 49 votes going into the day and gained a net 176 votes from the new ballots.
The State Board of Elections is expected to certify the results Monday or Tuesday.
Of course, Norm Coleman will continue his lawsuits, but it looks like Obama will have 59 ostensibly friendly Senators to work with come January 20th.
