Two months after Minnesota voters went to the polls, Democrat Al
Franken has been declared the winner of the U.S. Senate race, but his
opponent, Republican incumbent Norm Coleman, is ready to challenge the
results in court.
Franken, the comedian and former radio host, won the razor-close
election recount by just 225 votes out of nearly 3 million cast on Nov.
4. Speaking in Saint Paul, Franken declared victory but acknowledged
the potential for an ongoing legal battle.
