Minnesota Supreme Court Expected to Rule Today on Coleman, Franken Senate Race

The Minnesota Supreme Court is likely to issue a ruling today associated with the on-going U.S. Senate race between Republican Norm Coleman and Democrat Al Franken.

Politics in Minnesota:

PIM has now heard from two sources on different sides of the Minnesota U.S. Senate race recount scene that the final Minnesota Supreme Court ruling is expected to arrive tomorrow, Thursday, June 18th. The ruling could arrive between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., a shift from the earlier deadline of 5 p.m.

Some information on the ruling:

We also heard there’s some confidence that the three-judge panel ruling (PDF) was pretty solid and won’t get eviscerated by the Minnesota Supreme Court.

Update: Or maybe they were terribly misinformed

Update Two: It now sounds like the decision will come next week.

Update (6/30): The Minnesota Supreme Court has ruled unanimously in favor of Democrat Al Franken.
