This report (link), hot off the press, signifies a victory for Norm Coleman in the election contest with Al Franken: the court hearing the contest has ruled that "all absentee ballots that complied with state law should be counted, along with those where errors occurred through no fault of the voter." Franken has been trying to prevent a number of ballots that complied with state law from being counted.Is Franken already voting? If so, and Coleman winds up certified as the winner, none of Franken's votes can be included in the totals.
Franken was never seated. As it stands the seat is vacant.
