The still-unsettled Senate race in Minnesota between incumbent Norm Coleman and opponent Al Franken continues today. In a hearing before a three-judge panel, the matter of foreclosed voters was discussed. 

You may recall that Michigan Messenger’s Eartha Jane Melzer reported last September on the possibility that lists of foreclosed voters could have been used to challenge voters at the polls. Minnesota’s Ramsey County set up a website to help voters pre-election to explain to local voters that they could vote even if they were in foreclosure because they “had so many questions come up about that in October”; their voter education processes were just reviewed in front of the panel.

The UpTake.org has an archive of videos from the Franken-Coleman panel, including today’s hearing in Minnesota.

One might wonder how the eventual outcome of this race might have been affected if questions about foreclosed voters’ rights had not been asked before election day.
