Nearly 8 months later, now that the Minnesota Supreme Court has (unanimously) made it’s ruling, Norm Coleman has conceded, and Governor Pawlenty has promised to sign the election certificate, Al Franken will be the Junior Senator from Minnesota. MinnPost’s Eric Black read the ruling so you don’t have to, saying “Like the Election Contest Court ruling before it, this is an almost total rejection of every argument Team Coleman had made.”
The DFL is having a rally tomorrow (Wednesday, July 1) at the capitol.
