Updates on the Franken Recount... Looks like a Possible Win

Here's the latest email update from the Al Franken Senate campaign in Minnesota. Things are looking positive for the democratic candidate, although it's still think it's too early to be blowing up balloons:

Dear Friend,
Yesterday, Al himself told you the good news: the state canvassing board approved the final allocation of ballots in the Senate race, and we've got a 50-vote lead over Norm Coleman!

Many of you have written to ask what happens now, and how you can help.
As Al said yesterday, there are still some votes that have not been counted - absentee ballots that were improperly rejected. We've been fighting for these ballots to be included in the count since Day One, and we're continuing that fight. When they've all been counted, we're confident that Al Franken will end up on top.

HELP US ENSURE THAT EVERY VOTE IS COUNTED - CLICK HERE!

Once those ballots are dealt with, the state canvassing board will certify a winner. But the Coleman campaign has already made it clear that they just won't accept losing. In fact, they've already promised to go to court to try to overturn any Franken victory.

We won't let them steal what we've earned. But while Al goes to Washington to get to work for the people of Minnesota, we'll need to work together to protect our victory. Your contribution of $25, $50, $100, or more will help our recount team defeat any effort by Norm Coleman to overturn the result of the election.

PLEASE CLICK HERE TODAY TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO OUR RECOUNT FUND!

Folks, we've come a long way, and now we're so close to the finish line. As Al said yesterday, with a margin this close, it's no exaggeration to say that not one bit of effort was wasted.
Thank you for everything you've done so far - and thanks in advance for whatever you can do to help secure this victory.

Yours truly,
Stephanie Schriock
Campaign Manager
Al Franken for Senate
