Still Waiting

It has been almost a month since Barack Obama won. And yet we still do not know the outcome of two Senate seats, Al Franken in MN and Jim Martin in GA. 

Today on The Huffington Post:

The Minnesota Senate recount is getting incredibly tight. According to officials from the Al Franken campaign, the margin separating the Democratic challenger and Sen. Norm Coleman is now down to 73 votes out of approximately 2.9 million cast.

...

Even with the narrowing margin, there may not be enough room for Franken to take a lead. That's because, as the Franken camp has argued, the state has declined to publicize rejected absentee ballots. Elias, while claiming that the majority of these 12,000 ballots were rightly thrown out, estimated that "as many as 1,000," could end up being legitimate votes that were wrongfully uncounted.

Meanwhile Jim Martin's run off election is tomorrow against GOP incumbent, Saxby Chambliss....Let's see how it goes. 

Fingers are crossed.
