ST. PAUL, Minn. — City and county workers across Minnesota began a laborious recount Wednesday of more than 2.9 million ballots in the tight U.S. Senate contest between incumbent Republican Norm Coleman and Democrat Al Franken.
They have until Dec. 5 to complete the recount.
The votes cast for Coleman and Franken differed by less than one-half of 1 percent. Coleman’s 215-vote lead heading into the recount translated to a 0.008 percent margin.
