This is the statute about the certificate. It doesn’t say when an election is considered final. Apparently it assumes reasonableness on the part of the governor and secretary of state. Ritchie has already said he’ll sign when Pawlenty issues it.

No surprise, really. It was widely known that Coleman had no chance of persuading the Court to see things his way. It is also widely known that the GOP and the so-called “Independent Republican” party of Minnesota knew fully that this court challenge was nothing more than a delaying tactic to keep Franken out of the Senate for as long as possible.
