Republican Norm Coleman said Tuesday he is suing to challenge Democrat Al Franken's apparent recount victory in Minnesota's U.S. Senate race, delaying a resolution of the contest for weeks or months.
At a Capitol news conference filled with cheering supporters, Coleman said he won't accept a board's determination a day earlier that Franken won 225 more votes in the November election. He had a seven-day window to file the lawsuit.
"We are filing this contest to make absolutely sure every valid vote was counted and no one's was counted more than anyone else's," Coleman said.
Coleman shrugged off the idea that he might concede the election to avoid a protracted fight that could leave Minnesota with only a single senator in Washington for months.

Starting to look like Florida in 2000.

In the infamous words of Katherine Harris "The election is over, I have certified it." If the Minnesota election board has certified it then it's over. What a loser Norm is. Get over it and go home. I hope this brings back a few more memory's of 2000 when the supreme court of the united states stole the presidential election and we did nothing. Don't let it happen again as you can see Bush turned out to be the sorriest mistake ever.
