AFTERNOON CHATTER

The United States senate race in Minnesota is STILL too close to call between Incumbent Norm Coleman (R) and challenger Al Franken (D).

Gawker.com had some samples of ballots being contested by both Senate campaigns (like this below) showing that people really did have a hard time deciding which Senate candidate would get their support.

As you can tell, some people partially voted for both Coleman and Franken.

Minnesota Public Radio is also reporting that the decision may be left up to the state's canvassing board. It is their job to decide if ballots like this one will be thrown out or counted.
