Al Franken Becomes "Senator" Franken

A Minnesota board on Monday certified results showing Democrat Al Franken winning the state's U.S. Senate Race over Republican Norm Coleman. Franken, a former "Saturday Night Live'' personality, ended the recount up by 225 votes, an astonishingly thin margin in a race where more than 2.9 million votes were cast. Despite this development, the race is far from over, according to Republican Norm Coleman, whose lawyer has promised a legal challenge.
