Minnesota Update
Al Franken's campaign said "that as
many as 1,000 absentee ballots were improperly disqualified in
Minnesota's Senate race, and that it may appeal to courts or the U.S.
Senate to order that those ballots be counted," according to The Hill.
The U.S. Constitution allows each congressional chamber to be the "Judge
of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members."
According to Politico, Senate Leader Harry Reid called the Board of
Canvassers' decision to not count the absentee ballots "a cause for
great concern," fueling speculation that the Senate would explore the
legality of the Minnesota recount's results.
