How is Norm Coleman allowed to declare victory

[Puglover]

when the election isn't over legally? He is on the TV declaring victory and say that it is up to Al whether or not to pursue a recount. IT'S MANDATED BY FUCKING LAW Norm you lying scumbag. I cannot tell you what a sleazebag this man is.

8. Norm is doing this because he knows he is going to lose.

Cities always end up with more undervotes than the Rural Areas.

Your 300 vote lead won't last long, Normie!

Since neither Franken nor Coleman got more than 50% of the vote, will there be a runoff for the Minnesota Senate seat?
