Senate Race Update


Wouldn't it be nice to pull Chambliss' seat out from under him?

In Georgia, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution notes the first day of early voting for the run off between Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) and Jim Martin (D) began yesterday with elections officials "across the region reporting steady voting -- and, in some places, lines."

In Minnesota, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports Al Franken (D) wants erroneously rejected absentee ballots to be counted in the state's official tally, which will be certified today. Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) leads Franken by 215 votes. A manual recount is scheduled to begin Wednesday.

In Alaska, the Anchorage Daily News notes the vote count begins again with approximately 24,000 left. Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) trails challenger Mark Begich (D) by 1022 votes.
