The three-judge panel ordered that rejected absentee ballots from 12 of 19 categories should not be counted in the Senate race. Coleman, who is trying to undo Democrat Al Franken's 225-vote lead, had wanted to count ballots in all but three of the categories.

8. Sad to see Franken spend on this ...but happy to see Coleman go bankrupt

Franken will win.
