Federal panel: Count absentee ballots, Minnesota!

A three-judge Federal panel has ordered that any of some 4,800 ballots already cited by the campaign of former Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) which comply with state election laws should be counted.

The court refused to expand the number of disqualified votes which will be recounted to the full 11,000 which the Coleman campaign says were improperly disqualified.

Coleman had apparently won a narrow re-election victory over comedian Al Franken on election night. A mandatory recount reversed the decision, apparently handing Franken an even narrower victory.

Now everything is up for grabs again.
