On this date in Minnesota History: June 30

June 30, 2009 – “Minnesota’s state Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Democrat Al Franken should be certified the [Senate seat] winner. Republican Norm Coleman pulled the plug on a bitter election that was decided by 312 votes out of almost 2.9 million cast. Franken's victory gave Democrats 60 Senate seats, the critical number needed to overcome Republican filibusters.”
