LowCommotion FTW! (Politics, WTF?!)

I have now had the chance to read through Norm Coleman's brief in his appeal of the Minnesota election trial — check out Rick Hasen's take on it here — and it sets up a coherent formulation of many of his previous arguments, boiling down to a few options Coleman wants the state Supreme Court to consider: To preferably count more ballots that are presumably for Coleman, or else subtract ballots that are presumably for Franken, or declare the whole election null
