Supreme Court: Franken wins Senate case

The Minnesota Supreme Court has rejected Republican Norm Coleman's appeal of a lower court's ruling that put his rival, Democrat Al Franken, ahead by 312 votes.

This means Franken is now one step closer to becoming Minnesota's next Senator--unless Coleman decides to petition the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, which may or may not take the case.

The court issued its highly-anticipated order Thursday, after 30 days of deliberation and more than seven months since Minnesotans cast their ballots at the polls.


About freakin' time!
