Court declares Franken 'victory'
Al Franken
Mr Franken could help the Democrats stop Republican delaying tactics

Minnesota's Supreme Court has declared Democrat Al Franken the winner of the state's disputed 2008 US Senate race.

On election night last November, electronic voting machines gave Mr Franken's Republican opponent Norm Coleman a 215-vote lead.

After a state-wide manual recount Mr Franken was declared the winner, but Mr Coleman fought the result in court.

The Supreme Court ruling means that Mr Franken should soon become the Democrats' 60th vote in the US Senate.

Sixty votes are needed to overturn attempts by the Senate minority to block legislation using a technique known as a filibuster.

Comedian

Mr Coleman has not publicly ruled out continuing his fight in the federal courts.

In earlier court hearings, his legal team complained that a number of absentee ballots had been unfairly rejected by local officials.

But the Minnesota Supreme Court rejected Mr Coleman's arguments.

Mr Franken first came to prominence as a comedian, appearing on Saturday Night Live.

He later became a best-selling author and a host on the liberal Air America radio station

Niya,

I have nothing personal against my Rer Ayeeyo at all. Their votes helped contribute to the close race. Instead of voting lock step with the other Somalis, they voted for Norm.

Anywayz, why should you be concerned as you are not from MN.

First of all, who mandate that Somali practice group think? Everybody is free to vote as they wish.

Secondly, please stay true to yourself. This forum is awash with your feeling about MJs.

It was inevitable. Congrats Al Franken. Let's see if he turns out to be an empty-promise and plays on the neutral side on challenging issues that are of interest to the Somali people in Minnesota.
