In an interview with Minnesota Public Radio on Friday, Norm Coleman was asked what his next step would be if the election trial ends with him still behind. And he didn’t rule out an appeals process, which could hold up the certification of a Franken victory even longer.
“I don’t know if there is a next step,” Coleman said, explaining that it’s a question of whether there would still be outstanding issues such as improperly-rejected absentee ballots, double-counted absentees, and other questions.
When pressed further on whether he would appeal, Coleman responded: “If those issues are resolved, there’s not much to appeal.”
In plain English: Get ready for some appeals.
Meanwhile, Al Franken gave his own interview to MPR. Among other things, he commented on Coleman’s decision to take a temporary consulting job with the Republican Jewish Coalition: “I think it may be a more permanent job.”
