Rejected Absentee Ballots Reconsidered
 

(ABC 6 NEWS) - We're nearing the end of the historic Senate recount between Senator Norm Coleman and challenger Al Franken.

Election officials are now turning their focus to the absentee ballots.

Starting this morning, volunteers will begin to count how many absentee ballots were wrongly rejected due to an administrative error. Then it will be up the state canvassing board to decide whether or not to include those ballots into the recount.

The board is scheduled to meet on Friday.

For the moment, Coleman leads Franken by 687 votes.
