Just a fraction of one percent of the vote remains uncounted in St Louis County, in Northern Minnesota. Coleman has 1,210,790 and Franken has 1,210,082.
In the state of Minnesota, when the difference in vote count between the candidates is less than .5% (one half of one percent, or in this case 14,300 votes) there is an automatic recount of the votes. This process can take days.
Yet Coleman, Classy gentleman that he is, declared himself the winner and told us that he is humbled to have won a second term to serve the great State of Minnesota as a US Senator.
The arrogance is amazing, but not altogether surprising.
