[spanone]

In the Matter of the Contest of General Election held on November 4, 2008, for the purpose of electing a United States Senator from the State of Minnesota, Cullen Sheehan and Norm Coleman, contestants, Appellants vs. Al Franken, contestee, Respondent – Case No. A09-697: Appellants Cullen Sheehan and Norm Coleman appealed the decision of the three-judge trial court in this election contest challenging the result of the U. S. Senate race. The trial court held that respondent Al Franken received the most legally cast votes. The issues presented to the supreme court are (1) whether the trial court erred in excluding evidence of disparate application by election officials of the statutory standard governing absentee ballots and of the presence of illegal votes in the certified vote totals; (2) whether the trial court violated equal protection and due process in its adoption of standards for determining if an absentee vote was legally cast; (3) whether the trial court erred in declining to order inspection of election materials from precincts in which appellants allege double-counting of ballots may have occurred; and (4) whether the trial court erred in ruling that missing ballots from a Minneapolis precinct were properly included in the final recount tally.
