According to The Uptake, election workers in Minneapolis Election Warehouse have found an envelope with less than 20 uncounted ballots. The ballots may be from Minnesotans serving overseas in the US Military." Alas, the envelope does not contain the 133 ballots missing from Ward 3 Precinct 1. These ballots, in the Dinkytown area--including the University of Minnesota--may be helpful to Democratic challenger Al Franken, though probably not enough to overcome Coleman's lead. The Minnesota Secretary of State "has ordered the recount on that precinct be held open so workers can search for those ballots."
