The Star-Tribune Web site has Norm Coleman leading Al Franken by 787 votes out of more than 2.4 million cast.
I'll keep an eye on this one and see if I can learn anything more over the course of the day.
Meanwhile, Alaska voters gave freshly convicted felon Ted Stevens a 3,400-vote lead over Democrat Mike Begich. This is perhaps one step up from the former Louisiana governor who won reelection after a stint in a state mental hospital. Apparently there might be a recount here, too. We'll see.
The terrifying thing about a Stevens win, of course, is that he would likely be thrown out of the Senate, opening the way for another Republican from that state to take his seat. Hmmm, can you think of any well-known Republicans from Alaska?
