Norm Coleman sued and that ended up giving Franken a bigger lead than before:
Democrat Al Franken today extended his lead over Republican Norm Coleman in Minnesota’s U.S. Senate election, after the counting of about 350 formerly rejected absentee ballots this morning.
Franken captured 198 of the ballots, while Coleman took 111. The ballots added 87 votes to Franken’s recount lead, enlarging his margin over Coleman to 312.
The result makes it even more likely that, barring an unforeseen circumstance, Franken will prevail in the election lawsuit that Coleman filed in January to contest the Democrat’s 225-vote recount lead. The three-judge panel presiding over the case has not said when it will issue a final decision.
Of course the Republican still hate democracy and will continue to deprive the citizens of Minnesota from their full representation in the U.S. Senate. At this point Franken should be certified and seated. If the courts rule something else down the road, then fine, make a switch, but right now the only ones suffering from this are the people of Minnesota.
