Where can I get MN updates outstate?
I want to keep a close eye on the MN senate race, but I live in NY. What sources do people prefer for updates? Looks like the polls in MN close at 9pm (I haven't voted in MN in a few years, I had to look it up). The Franken-Coleman race is about the only state race that I want to watch closely tonight, here in NY we have a pretty good chance of a democratic sweep.


PS, could someone at DU add "Franken" to the dictionary? I hit the spell check button and it didn't recognize his name. Of course I hope to see it soon become "US Senator Franken"!

3. Is the secretary of state site already down?
I tried sos.state.mn.us and it was not responsive. Even when I asked someone in MN to try it for me, there was no response. I guess that is the kind of reliability we knew to expect and love from good old "Teflon" Tim Pawlenty and friends.

Looks like the

6. Here's a working SOS link
Election Reporting now seems to be working, though it isn't very quick. It does, however, show Franken winning, and its coming from the MN Secretary of State, so I'm pleased with it for as long as it continues to work.


I don't know where CNN is getting their information from, but they don't seem to be keeping up on that senate race...
