Colemans Chances Shrinking

Another Setback for Coleman in Minnesota

In another ruling unfavorable to former senator Norm Coleman (R), the three-judge panel overseeing his election contest for the Minnesota Senate seat rejected Coleman's attempt to eliminate ballots that he and challenger Al Franken (D) had previously both approved. Coleman's argument is that the court had set a new standard on Feb. 13 and all ballots accepted or rejected prior to that now had to be reexamined. The court didn't agree with him as the essence of the Feb. 13 ruling was that legal ballots had to be counted and illegal ones had to be rejected. Coleman is in trouble as the pool of ballots that might contain fresh votes for him keeps shrinking.
