Having covered the 2008-2009 electoral recount contest that eventually resulted in the swearing in of Al Franken as the US Senator from Minnesota for MinnPost.com (and winning the 2009 Frank Premack Public Affairs Award for breaking news for the coverage), journalist Weiner here provides a blow-by-blow account of that 35 week legal battle, vastly different in both process and partisan outcome from the earlier Bush versus Gore recount battle in Florida.
