Franken Ahead By Handful of Votes!

The election in Minnesota is coming down to a handful of votes. Today, Al Franken took the lead by a slim margin of 22 votes.

More from Huffington Post:

Speaking on a conference call with reporters, Franken's chief counsel Marc Elias said the campaign's own internal count showed them up 22 votes, a jump from the 13 vote deficit that they faced on Tuesday.

"We have approximately 138,000 ballots left to count," said Elias. "94.3 percent of the state has now been counted... Obviously that number is going to change, but we are pleased thus far with how things are going."
