Justice Alan Page has chosen a three-judge panel to hear Norm Coleman's election contest.
They are:
* Elizabeth Hayden of Stearns County who was appointed by DFL Governor Rudy Perpich in 1986;
* Kurt Marben of Thief River Falls who was appointed by Independent Jesse Ventura in 2000, and
* Denise Reilly of Hennepin County who was appointed by Republican Arne Carlson in 1997.
Meanwhile Democrat Al Franken's campaign today says it's answering Norm Coleman's lawsuit with its own list of wrongfully-rejected ballots that it wants the court to consider.
Coleman filed a lawsuit last week contesting the Senate election and told the court it could prove election officials double-counted some ballots and under-counted others.
