Coleman too late to stop state’s Magic Markers

If only they’d used washable markers.

Norm Coleman’s campaign this morning asked the judges in Minnesota’s Senate election contest trial to stop the secretary of state’s office from marking out numbers on 933 absentee ballots that link them to the envelopes in which they arrived. But state workers have already blacked out almost all of the numbers.

UPDATE: The Secretary of State’s office now says half of the ballots remain unredacted.
