Coleman's Lead Shrinks To 206 Votes

ST. PAUL (WCCO) ― The margin in Minnesota's unresolved Senate race has gotten tighter again in the latest figures reported to the secretary of state.

Republican incumbent Norm Coleman's lead over Democrat Al Franken stands at 206 votes as of Monday afternoon. It had been 221 votes in tallies that are still considered unofficial.

County canvassing boards are meeting to certify their results, a week ahead of the state canvassing board.

The one-hundredth of 1 percent difference between the two candidates will trigger an automatic recount that won't start until next week.
