Norm Coleman's campaign blocked 59 absentee ballots in Saint Louis County from being added to the U.S Senate Recount.

But one Duluth resident finds it very ironic that her vote has been singled out.

"I'm Shirley Graham. I've been a polling judge for six years and found that my ballot has been rejected."

According to the St. Louis County auditor's office, Coleman's campaign objected to her unopened ballot because the voter and witness dates of signature were different.

Graham says her witness used to work for the Secretary of State's office as an assistant.

Here's another twist to the story, Graham says she voted for Coleman.
