The '08 Election Isn't Over

Races not yet resolved:
Senate - 2
Minnesota - Norm Coleman vs Al Franken Recount
The Minneapolis Star Tribune says:
"With the U.S. Senate recount still incomplete, attorneys on both sides have already armored up for the next pitched battle: over whether to reexamine thousands of rejected absentee ballots."
Rejected absentee votes may decide it

Georgia - Saxby Chambliss vs Jim Martin Runoff Election
The Atlanta Journal Constitution says:
"The Georgia Senate runoff is attracting a lengthening line of political A-listers as Democrats push for a 60-vote, filibuster-proof “super majority” in the upper chamber and Republicans pull out all the stops to hold Chambliss’s seat." Time for Chambliss to go, Al Gore tells Martin supporters

House -

Ohio - District 15 - Stivers vs Kilroy Recount
The Columbus Dispatch/Politics says:
"Republican Steve Stivers maintains a narrow lead over Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy in the 15th District race."
27,306 provisional ballots remain unopened. Several questionable ballots tossed out

Louisiana - 2 and 4 face a Runoff on December 6th
The Times-Picayune says:
"On Dec. 6, Republicans get their first chance to weigh in, but there aren't enough of them to really change the dynamic. That is, unless they turn out in disproportionate numbers.
Which, it turns out, is the plan.
" Pssst! There's an election coming up
