Canvassing Board: Al Franken Won Minn. Recount; Coleman to Sue

HeadlineJan 06, 2009

In Minnesota, the state Canvassing Board has unanimously certified Democrat Al Franken’s 225-vote lead over Republican incumbent Senator Norm Coleman. The Coleman campaign plans to file a lawsuit today in order to prevent Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Secretary of State Mark Ritchie from certifying the election. Al Franken briefly spoke to reporters on Monday.

Al Franken: “After sixty-two days of careful and painstaking hand inspection of nearly three million ballots, after hours and hours of hard work by election officials and volunteers across this state, I am proud to stand before you as the next senator from Minnesota.”
