The Minnesota DFL Party just put out a scathing press release regarding NRSC chairman John Cornyn’s statement that the legal processes surrounding the disputed Senate election could last “years.” The release declares: “Minnesotans, not Washington (or Texas), will decide who will represent them in the U.S. Senate.”

Key quote from party chairman Brian Melendez:

“Former Senator Coleman’s own attorney acknowledges that he’ll lose his lawsuit. And apparently, the national Republicans have even less faith in his appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court. But once Coleman’s state appeals have run their course, the game is over. If he keeps filing more lawsuits, then he can do it after Senator Franken gets sworn in.”
