ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - The Minnesota Supreme Court has rejected Democrat Al Franken's petition for an election certificate that would put him in the U.S. Senate without waiting for a lawsuit to be resolved.
Franken is ahead of Republican Norm Coleman by 225 votes. Coleman's ongoing lawsuit argues some uncounted absentee ballots were wrongly rejected.
Franken sued to force Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Secretary of State Mark Ritchie to sign an election certificate. Franken argued that federal law required it.

Weird isn't it, how Coleman didn't seem to care one way or another about uncounted votes until Al Franken double checked the "rejected" votes and found ballots that were incorrectly rejected. Now Coleman really has a burr up his backside to get more rejected ballots counted.
