Local elections officials identified some 1,350 absentee ballots last week that were "improperly rejected," the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports, and the campaigns for Sen. Norm Coleman and Al Franken will submit arguments this week on those as well as additional ballots they find to be incorrectly uncounted. Franken currently holds an unofficial lead of 46 votes.

From the Star Tribune:

Campaign representatives are likely to hash over the list at 12 regional meetings scheduled throughout the state on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

What, exactly, will happen at those meetings is unclear and partly up to the campaigns, said Secretary of State Mark Ritchie.

"This is not that complicated," Ritchie said. "These are 1,300-some wrongly rejected ballots that local election officials have identified. The campaigns have identified others that they think were also wrongly rejected, so the local election official has to examine those potential additions and see if they agree, and then the campaigns and local elections officials have to agree on the list ... and send them in."
