Court: Franken won most votes; Coleman to appeal

A Minnesota court has confirmed that Democrat Al Franken won the most votes in his 2008 Senate race against Republican incumbent Norm Coleman, the Associated Press reports.

But, as the saying goes, it ain't over til it's over. Coleman already had said he would appeal such a decision to the state Supreme Court. He has 10 days to file.

Franken stands 312 votes ahead, having gained 87 votes after a recount of absentee ballots that resulted from Coleman's legal challenge.
