Norm Coleman wants the state’s highest court to reverse his U.S. Senate election loss.
The former Republican senator appealed to the Minnesota Supreme Court Monday, hoping it will overturn a special judicial panel’s ruling that declared Democrat Al Franken the winner.
Coleman’s key claim is that the disparate ways absentee ballots were handled by local election officials in the Nov. 4 election violated the U.S. Constitution. He argues that that problem was not corrected during a recent election trial and there remain ballots to count.
