Franken vs. Coleman Update: A Ruling!
Got a tip for a post?:

Well, we got a ruling from the Election Contest Court Friday -- and while it was a ruling, it wasn't the one we've been waiting to see. Sixty-one Franken voters, represented by attorney Charles Nauen and hence collectively known as the Nauen voters, had filed suit in order to get their absentee ballots counted. Thirty-six of these voters had their ballots counted in the final vote count on Tuesday; the rest were not allowed to have their ballots counted.
Check back again later this weekend, and have a joyous Ostara! (And throw some coin The UpTake's way, if you can.)
