I don't have a link or any details because my source in Mom - she heard this on the local noon news and didn't track the details very well.

The Minnesota Supreme Court today rejected a bid by Norm Coleman in the disputed U.S. Senate election to consider counting hundreds of rejected absentee ballots from mostly Republican-leaning areas.

The court did not issue an opinion on Republican Coleman's claim that the ballots may have been wrongly rejected, saying he can press a court contest if he wants to prove his point.

The ruling this morning appears to clear the way for the State Canvassing Board this afternoon to certify results of the Senate election recount, presumably with Democrat Al Franken on top. Franken holds an unofficial 225-vote lead.

The Coleman campaign has said it's likely to file an election contest, or lawsuit, if the board does that. The campaign would have seven days to take action, and an election certificate could not be issued until the legal action was resolved.

4. Good! I'm sure that Coleman is not done yet, though. The creep will do everything he can

but I think in the end it will be Sen. Al Franken.
