MN Supremes deny Coleman petition

Posted at 1:55 PM on December 24, 2008 by Tom Scheck

The Minnesota Supreme Court has just denied GOP Sen. Norm Coleman's petition to investigate whether double counting occurred in the recount.

Here's the reaction from Al Franken's spokesman Andy Barr:

"Minnesotans have waited a long time to find out who won this race - and today's unanimous ruling means that the process can move forward despite attempts to halt its progress and cast doubt on the result. Now we approach the end of a recount that Minnesotans can be proud of - and one that we strongly believe will result in the election of Al Franken."

Waiting for word from Coleman's campaign. Coleman's campaign has a 3:15 conference call.
