If Minnesota Senate Race was using the runoff formula

Coleman has 1,211,565 votes, Franken has 1,211,359 votes, with votes for others, total votes cast was 2,883,137.

Thresshold is 7,208

Coleman's Margin is Zero. Franken's Margin is 206. Since 206 is less than 7,209, a runoff would be held if Franken accepts it.

The only two candidates in the runoff would be Coleman and Franken. Both parties would be able to send all of their observers, poll watchers, lawyers, etc.
