MINNEAPOLIS, March 6 (UPI) -- The Minnesota Supreme Court Friday rejected Al Franken's request that the Senate recount be certified and he be allowed to take a U.S. Senate seat.
Politico reported that Franken, the Democratic candidate, was seeking to have his race against Republican incumbent Norm Coleman certified. Franken specifically wanted the state's high court to force Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty to certify the recount results.
