It’s here. At long last, it’s here. After seven and a half months, we’re about to see the end of the 2008 Minnesota senatorial election.
The Minnesota Supreme Court has issued its ruling today in RE: Coleman v. Franken. And, also as has been rumored would happen, it comes down pretty damned solidly in Franken’s favor. And unanimously so, to boot. The scuttlebutt locally was that the main holdup was getting the decisions all synched up, but whether that’s true remains to be seen.
Here’s the link to the Minnesota Supreme Court’s website, so you can read for yourself. The upshot: Welcome, Senator Franken!
