The legal maneuvering continues in Minnesota between Al Franken and Norm Coleman, with little end in sight. Michael Barone suggests that the issue could end up in the U.S. Supreme Court, a la Bush v. Gore, or even result in a new election being declared. Regardless of the result, I am glad Coleman has the resolve and resources to keep fighting. Keeping another Democrat out of the Senate and possibly securing another Republican seat is worth just about any price (securing a filibuster-proof minority is vital as well), and with the shady things that have happened so far, like some heavily Democratic counties having "found" more votes for Franken in the recount than the actual number of registered voters, leads to the conclusion that the election has been tainted irrevocably.
