SENATOR AL FRANKEN!

It’s official! The MN Supreme Court has just released their unanimous ruling affirming the appellate court’s decision that Al Franken is Minnesota’s newest U.S. Senator!

“The question presented on appeal is whether the trial court erred in concluding that Al Franken received the most legally cast votes in the election for United States Senator. Because we conclude that appellants have not shown that the trial court‟s findings of fact are clearly erroneous or that the court committed an error of law or abused its discretion, we affirm.”

Update: Norm Coleman concedes during his press conference, congratulates Al, and says he has spoken with Gov. Pawlenty and told him to sign election certificate! Franken press conference at 1615 CDT.
