Crow Wing County Recount Begins Today

The Crow Wing County portion of the Minnesota Senate recount began at 9 a.m. today. County Auditor Debra Erickson says 25 election judges will be visually inspecting 36 thousand votes. Erickson says there was a three thousand vote difference between Senator Norm Coleman and challenger Al Frankin in Crow Wing County, with Coleman holding the lead. Erickson expects little change in the final outcome which she hopes will be complete by the end of the day. The process will be held in the lower level of the Land Services building in Brainerd.
