Coleman says 1,725 rejected absentee votes should be counted in Minnesota Senate race
Attorneys for Norm Coleman are arguing that their legal case is still valid and that about 1,725 rejected absentee ballots should be opened and counted.
The court papers filed Friday respond to an effort by Al Franken's attorneys to dismiss Coleman's lawsuit challenging the Minnesota Senate recount.
Franken's attorneys argue Coleman has failed to meet his burden of proof that in the case. He is trying to overcome Franken's 225-vote lead.
Coleman's attorneys say documents and testimony show the court should count certain votes.
