Washington - For most Americans, Election Day has come and gone. However, one state has yet to declare a winner in the presidential election, and three Senate races are still up in the air.

Minnesota officials are recounting the ballots to decide the race between incumbent senator Norm Coleman and challenger Al Franken-- first by machine, then by hand. Coleman leads by 206 votes, but Franken refuses to concede.

The race has been plagued by accusations of improprieties on the part of poll workers and of partisanship, which the Secretary of State denies. Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie argues, "When a Supreme Court justice is appointed by whomever, when they put on the robe, they stop being of a political party and they start being servants of the people of Minnesota, and I feel that same way about when I took the oath of office and walked through the door, I became a servant of the people of Minnesota."

Both candidates will have attorneys present during the recount..

Georgia's incumbent senator Saxby Chambliss and challenger Jim Martin will participate in a December run-off, since neither candidate received at least 50 percent of the vote. McCain hits the campaign trail Thursday to help his Senate colleague.

And Anchorage mayor Mark Begich has taken the lead over incumbent senator and convicted felon Ted Stevens by 814 votes.

Officials continue to count early and absentee ballots, delaying a decision in that race by at least a week or more.

Finally, in Missouri, some 6,000 provisional ballots are still being counted in the presidential race. John McCain (web|news|bio) leads Barack Obama (web|news|bio) by nearly 5,00 votes. The final outcome in Missouri will not affect the overall outcome of the race, however, since Missouri does not have enough electoral votes to reverse Barack Obama's landslide electoral victory. 

Additionally, there are still a few House races that have not been called, although last night, the Associated Press declared Alaska Republican Don Young the winner in his election.
