Today, just moments ago, the infamous Lizard People ballot came up for the Canvassing Board's review!
This ballot was initially counted as a Franken vote. The Coleman campaign challenged the ballot, claiming "Lizard People" was an identifying mark. The Board voted to uphold the challenge, arguing that they couldn't be certain that "Lizard People" wasn't a real person's name.
And in a separate post...
If Coleman wins 127 challenges and Franken wins 122, that would mean a net of 5 votes for Coleman. If the Franken campaign's estimate was correct that it was winning the re-count by 4 votes assuming that all challenges would be rejected, that would produce a Coleman win by a grand total of ... one vote!

It appears this Canvassing Board SUCKS:
So "Lizard People" might be a real person, but "Brett Favre" isn't?
To top off the fun, another challenge just came through in which a Franken voter had appended "STIN" to "Al Franken", as in "AL FRANKEN-STIN" (sic). The Canvassing Board rejected that challenge and tallied the ballot for Mr. Frankenstin.
