Coleman-Franken Senate race trial heads into second day
Last update: January 27, 2009 - 9:49 AM

The trial to determine Minnesota's disputed U.S. Senate race was preparing to convene for its second day Tuesday morning, after a somewhat chaotic initial session Monday left it unclear where the proceedings were headed.

On Monday, the three-judge panel hearing the case ruled that Republican Norm Coleman must subpoena and submit into evidence original rejected absentee ballot envelopes that he argues should be reconsidered and counted.

Coleman's lawyers contend that some 5,000 such ballots should be counted because they are similar to some included in the administrative recount that ended with Democrat Al Franken ahead by 225 votes.

The judges on Monday initially allowed the Coleman campaign to enter photocopies of ballot envelopes into evidence, but changed their minds when Franken lawyers objected that some photocopies had been marked by Coleman campaign workers and others had been inaccurately copied.

It was not clear how quickly original ballot envelopes could be secured or what other issues the Coleman lawyers were prepared to raise this morning.
