Court Rules Against Coleman In MN Senate Race
Email This Post
Bad news for Norm Coleman as the Minnesota Supreme Court has ruled against his request to throw out duplicate votes from heavily Democrat areas. The duplicate ballots came as the result of damaged ballots being fed through the scanners, counting their votes, and then being counted a second time when set aside because they had become damaged. This issue focused on roughly 130 ballots, but with Al Franken holding the lead at just under 80 votes this challenge became critical.
The associate judge noted the MN SC did not have enough information to make a ruling against the ballots and said their decision should not be interpreted as final, but would rather be better suited for a future legal dispute. This ruling practically insures the MN Senate race will spill over into the courts and won’t be resolved before the 111th Congress sits in late January.
