Franken Extends Lead Over Coleman

Al Franken (D) extended his lead over Norm Coleman (R) in Minnesota's U.S. Senate race, "following the counting of about 350 formerly rejected absentee ballots this morning," the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

"Unofficially, Franken took 198 of the ballots, while Coleman added 111. The ballots added about 87 to Franken's recount lead, enlarging his margin over Coleman to more than 312."

CQ Politics says it's now "mathematically impossible" for Coleman to win the race.
