Minn. Judges Rule Franken Winner of Senate Race
-----------------------------------------------



In Minnesota, Al Franken has moved one step closer to becoming a US
senator. On Monday, a three-judge panel ruled that Franken had received
312 more votes than incumbent Norm Coleman on Election Day, five months
ago. The court rejected Coleman’s central argument that the election and
its aftermath were fraught with systemic errors that made the results
invalid. But the legal battle in Minnesota is not over. Coleman has
vowed to appeal Monday’s ruling.
