Minn. court declares Franken leading vote-getter
By BRIAN BAKST – 1 hour ago

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A Minnesota court confirmed Monday that Democrat Al Franken won the most votes in his 2008 Senate race against Republican Norm Coleman, who immediately announced plans to appeal the decision.

Coleman has 10 days to appeal to the state Supreme Court. Once the petition is filed, it could further delay the seating of Minnesota's second senator for weeks.
