Franken-Coleman Election Trial Begins Monday

Former Sen. Norm Coleman’s (R-Minn.) court challenge of Democrat Al Franken’s lead in their Senate race begins Monday.

Franken was certified the winner by a margin of 225 votes by the state canvassing board. But Coleman’s camp is arguing that his deficit is due to improperly counted absentee ballots and other ballot irregularities.

The court proceedings start at 2 p.m. ET and can be seen at The Uptake, or below.
