Three election-law experts who have been closely tracking the Norm Coleman-Al Franken contest for U.S. Senate weigh in today with written reactions to the final order (pdf) from the three-judge panel that heard Coleman’s complaint. All admired the order for its unanimity and deft handling of Coleman’s equal-protection claims.

The Al Franken-Norm Coleman Senate contest will be decided in the Minnesota Supreme Court, according to election law experts. But other factors could possibly have the outcome decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
