They have recounted all the votes from November’s race and Franken is in the lead of Colman by 225 votes. It’s been a shaky and we have all been biting our nails but Franken looks like he has won. It’s not official and will be announced by court on Monday. It is speculated that Colman will take this to court and argue it was fair. I don’t like that Colman is doing this. He is a baby but that’s just what my opinion. They didn’t do that in Gore/Bush race. The difference was sum in that race was 500 votes that made the variation. This really shows you that what a difference you make in the elections. How you could decide the next person in charge, witch is the way it should be. That even the smallest people make a huge difference. It makes you feel important and your voice is heard as it should. Everyone deserves to make a difference, but I’m getting really cheesy now. Anyways I just think that this election was exciting. Demonstrates democracy in action.
