County officials prepare for Senate recount

November 17, 2008

LISTEN

Minnesota's canvassing board will meet Tuesday to certify the results of the state's major elections.

That includes the U.S. Senate race, in which incumbent Republican Norm Coleman leads his DFL challenger, Al Franken, by just 206 votes.

After the results have been certified, the Senate race will head into a statewide recount. County elections officials all over the state are preparing to recount the ballots.

Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer talked with St. Louis County Auditor Donald Dicklich.
