The Al Franken campaign seeks volunteers to help with the recount starting next week. There is a training session this Saturday and people are being asked to commit a day or more (but in units of whole days) to the effort some time over the subsequent weeks, on weekdays. (There are logistical reasons for this.)
Let me know if you want to help. Email me your name and phone number and I'll pass it on to a person who will contact you.

Way to go, Jackal!!!
