Departments National Issues Breaking: Minnesota Supreme Court unanimously finds Franken winner by Brad Blog June 30, 2009 Coleman's appeal rejected by state's high court; Say Franken 'entitled' to certification... The Minnesota Supreme Court has just ruled that Democrat Al Franken will be the state's next U.S. Senator bringing the months long contest against former Republican Sen. Norm Coleman. The decision was a unanimous 5 to 0 ruling, finding that Franken was "entitled" to be certified by the state's Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty, and its Democratic Secretary of State Mark Ritchie. Pawlenty has recently said he would sign the certification for Franken, if ordered to do so by the MN Supremes. The state requires a signature for certification from both the Governor and the Sec. of State before Congress members may be seated. State law also allows for all election contests to be settled in the state before certification is signed. Franken's seating would give Democrats a theoretical 60-seat, filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, following Arlen Specter's recent move to the Democratic party. Franken, an author, former talk-show host and comedian, was found, by a three-judge, tri-partisan election contest panel, to have won the election by 312 votes following an historic, painstakingly careful hand-count of nearly 3 million paper ballots cast in last November's election. Coleman, may now appeal the decisions of the state canvassing board, the three-judge election contest panel, and the unanimous decision of the state Supreme Court to the U.S. Supreme Court.
