The Minnesota state Canvassing Board formally certified the vote count, meaning that the state mandated recount of the Al Franken-Norm Coleman race can now proceed.

The margin is 215 in favor or Coleman out of about 2.9 million votes cast, but typically, on a recount you find more votes missed in more heavily trafficked precincts, which are typically urban, and typically swing Democratic.

I’m waiting for the Supreme Court to shut it down using Bush v. Gore as a precedent.
