The three-judge panel overseeing Republican Norm Coleman's challenge to the recount has reversed course and will now allow a Republican election official to testify. Here's a snapshot from MPR's Elizabeth Baier:

In her testimony Wednesday, Pamela Howell said she was with another election judge when duplicate ballots without proper labels were fed through the tabulators.

"Thoughts ran through my head as to what can we do to retrieve or label or whatever," Howell said in her testimony Wednesday. "And at that point, they were mixed up with the others. Some where already in the ballot box. There was no way that we could see to fix it."
