MN Sen: Another Twist And Turn
The MN Supreme Court ruled today that 4,800 previously rejected absentee ballots can be counted in the Senate contest between Republican Norm Coleman and Democrat Al Franken. The move throws the contest back into the uncertain category, as Franken holds a meager 225-vote advantage.
The Star-Tribune reports that the Coleman camp is "thrilled" with the decision, while Franken's team offered a more tepid react.
Franken attorney Marc Elias: "I don't view it as a loss for either side or a win for either side."
The disputed absentee ballots have been at the heart of Coleman's legal strategy.
Stay tuned.
Alright Normy!
the headline is misleading. The actual ruling stated that the 4800 absentee votes can be considered and reviewed again to see if any of them should be considered valid and counted. That is a big difference then saying there are 4800 that will be counted.
