That and the places manufacturing votes out of whole cloth for him helps a lot.Nate is optimistic about Franken's chances. Basically the theory is (Using data from other recounts, especially in independent recounts of Florida) that the people who are most likely to make ballot errors (And hence not have their votes counted initially) are most often:
1) Working class
2) Minority
3) Elderly
Franken won the first 2 categories and tied in the third. The votes are more likely to be counted this time because often it is clearly marked who the person wanted to vote for, but they did not fill the ballot in correctly.
