Pawlenty, Ritchie sign election certificate for Franken
By Chris Steller 6/30/09 7:25 PM

Al Franken’s election certificate was signed by Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Secretary of State Mark Ritchie early Tuesday evening, only hours after the state’s high court turned down Norm Coleman’s appeal of Franken’s win.

Read below what the document says, or see the full document, seal and all, along with a cover letter, in this pdf.

5. While it was frustrating and Coleman's motives were completely transparent,
we really do have a sound election system that we Minnesotans are quite proud of--that's why we weren't rioting the the streets. Our system holds up to scrutiny and justice did prevail--eventually. :hi:

The State of MN undeservedly took heat from DUers who were totally ignorant of the excellent electoral process there and well as the excellent judicial process.

Five and a half years of Al is much better than six more of Norm.

Let's face it. If a former SNL comedian of any party beats an incumbent of any party, the incumbent must really stink.
