Minnesota, unlike many other states, actually has election laws that cover just about any conceivable scenario. Al can't be declared the winner of the election until Chicklet-Teeth's legal questions are resolved. Are the Repubs exploiting this to just delay the inevitable and keep another (D) vote out of the Senate? You bet. But the law's the law, and they're sticking to it.
