ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - The city of Minneapolis has stopped searching for about 130 ballots in the U.S. Senate recount, leaving state officials to choose between two sets of tallies in the tight race between Sen. Norm Coleman and Al Franken.

City officials believed ballots were missing after the number of votes recounted in one precinct ended up 133 less than the number tallied on Election Day. The missing votes favored Franken, who would fall another 46 votes behind Coleman if the precinct's recount numbers are used instead of the initial tally.

City spokesman Matt Laible said workers looked all day Friday at the city's election warehouse without success, then regrouped over the weekend and decided to turn over two sets of numbers to the Secretary of State's office: the Election Day tally, and the recounted results.

It will be up to the state Canvassing Board to decide which count to use. The board meets Friday.
