Franken and Officials Respond to Court Order
The Franken campaign argues that the Coleman request for a revised procedure to consider rejected absentee ballots violates the terms of the "Protocol" that Coleman agreed to and would be beyond the court's power. The Secretary of State, and local officials, argue that they have complied with the court's previous orders. The court is expected to either rule directly on Coleman's request or shedule oral argument on it. (The documents are available on the court's website and will be posted to the Moritz case page.)
