premise: In November, the results of the 2008 United States Senate election in Minnesota showed Republican Norm Coleman with a 215 vote lead over the Democratic challenger Franken. The close margin ―less than 0.0075 percent ―triggered an automatic recount which resulted in Franken leading by 225 votes, the total ratified by the Minnesota Canvasing Board January 5. The Coleman campaign filed a motion January 6 in court to block the certification of Franken's victory and prevent Franken from taking a seat in the United States Senate. On March 31, a three-judge panel hearing the case ordered 400 additional ballots be counted.
hypothesis: The election was a fairly won and none of the parties were mean to each other.
reason: We aren't exactly sure if it was fairly won and if both parties were nice. We jsut known it was a close race and had to be a recount.
