Former US Senator Norm Coleman's campaign is in court today trying to convince a three judge panel to overturn Al Franken's 225 vote lead in Minnesota's US Senate race.

Today the Coleman Campaign is grilling the Minnesota Deputy Secretary of State trying to prove that about 5,000 to 12,000 rejected absentee ballots were rejected improperly. The Coleman campaign asserts that the local election officials used different standards for rejecting the ballots and that violates the "equal protection" clause of the US Constitution.

I believe this is similar to the argument Bush VS Gore in 2000. The Republicans are dirty players. They have made this their last stand in the tumbling down of their great old party take over. Coleman has litigated every election he has been in .... the pattern here is one of Republican obstruction of the election process. Same old game different day.
