Deja Vote
The Coleman-Franken post-election brouhaha seems eerily familiar. Just like Florida in 2000, the Republican was ahead after the original vote and, though it got closer, still ahead after the conventional recount. Meanwhile, there were challenges on both sides and then the Democrat demanded the vote continue beyond where it normally stops, with only certain types of votes counted, and others ignored. Then the Republican sued to, in essence, stop the vote.
No doubt, like last time, most people will take sides based on whom they want to win.

Let's just opt for a coin flip. That way everyone can just admit the result is unjust and we can get on with life
. . . still ahead after the conventional recount
The conventional recount ended by presuming that every challenged ballot will be disallowed? By that measure, the Republican could have been ahead 1-0 at the end of the conventional recount by challenging every vote but his own.
But I do like NEGuy's idea.
Conventional recounts end when they've recounted the votes, not recounted the disallowed votes.
Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
