Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who just stepped down as the chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, declared today that Al Franken has defeated incumbent Republican Sen. Norm Coleman in the Minnesota Senate recount.
“With the Minnesota recount complete, it is now clear that Al Franken won the election. The Canvassing Board will meet tomorrow to wrap up its work and certify him the winner, and while there are still possible legal issues that will run their course, there is no longer any doubt who will be the next Senator from Minnesota,” Schumer said in a statement.
The Canvassing Board is set to declare Franken the winner when they meet tomorrow, and then it is just a matter of time and lawsuits until Coleman gives up. That could be a matter of weeks or even months, depending on how long Coleman is willing to fight on.
