Al Franken's campaign requested Governor Tim Pawlenty and Secretary of State Mark Ritchie to grant him certificate so he could be in United States Senate. Right now Minnesota have only one Senator, Amy Klobchar just for now until the court settle down on lawsuit that was bought by Former US Senator Norm Coleman.
Attorneys for Franken said that 7 days waiting period has passed and Franken was supposed to get signed certificate so he could go to Washington DC. The State law says that a candidate have seven day waiting period after final counting.
Gov. Pawlenty rather not to issue Franken the certificate until Coleman's lawsuit action are done and then they will see what will happen. A trial on lawsuit shall be taken up within three weeks after a person filed a lawsuit according to state law. As for Coleman's case, He will have three judges hearing his case and they haven't selected judges yet.
