I haz a senator!

Remember how the US had elections last November? The MN senate race was deemed too close to call and has been in contention ever since. (I posted about it back then here.) Well, first there was a recount. Then a court case. Then an appeal. But FINALLY the MN Supreme Court has ruled in Franken's favor and Coleman has officially conceded!!!

MPR article. Newspaper article.

It's about bloody time.

Seriously. Nearly 8 full months!!!

Although it does go to show that every vote makes a difference. At the final count before the recount Coleman was ahead 214 votes. But now, after the recount and the first court case, Franken took the seat by 312 votes. 312. That's it.

Yep. Let's hope it doesn't come down to something like that again.
