I apologize for the awkward testing dates and I understand that they will be difficult for some of you. If you need to take the test EARLY because you will be visiting family please let me know. If you know you will be gone, you must take the test EARLY. Thank you!
The Senate race in Minnesota STILL isn’t decided!
The race between incumbent Republican Norm Coleman and Democrat and former comedian Al Franken was too close to call after the votes were counted. In fact, after over 2 MILLION votes were counted, the difference was less than 300 votes.
LESS THAN 300 VOTES!!!
(Don’t ever let anyone EVER tell you that their vote doesn’t count)
The state of Minnesota is currently recounting the votes. While this seems simple, it really isn’t at all. Sometimes its hard to tell EXACTLY what the voters intent is!
Can you tell who the voter intended to vote for?

Challenged ballots: You be the judge – Minnesota Public Radio puts together a sample of challenged ballots like this one.
