Franken Certified as Minnesota
Senate Race Winner, But Lawsuit Looms
A Minnesota board has certified election results showing Democrat Al Franken has won the U.S. Senate recount -- by 225 votes. But that doesn't mean the former Saturday Night Live comedian's race against his Republican opponent, incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman, is over. Fox News has learned that Senate Democratic leaders will try to seat Franken on Tuesday, but a legal challenge probably will keep the race in limbo. Franken aides say the Democrat has no plans to travel to Washington yet.
