The Really: If Al Franken chooses to, he can take his case for election to the Senate of US. And they can overule Minnesota's vote count if they want.

Martin in Georgia may have little chance against Saxby Chambliss (who does have a cooler name) but A lFranken in Minnesota --who does have a gripe regarding rejected ballots can actually appeal to --get ready for this-- the Senate itself. Yup, the Senate can overrule the state election results and elect Franken.

Chalk up 59 for the Dems.
