Norm Coleman: ‘I do believe’ I beat Al Franken in 2008

Former Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) still believes he should have been declared the winner in his 2008 Senate race against former Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) — a race Franken ultimately won by a few hundred votes.
"I do, I do believe. Do I believe there were more votes for Coleman than there were Franken? I do," Coleman told Minneapolis ABC affiliate KSTP-TV on Wednesday.
Franken, who resigned from the Senate last year after sexual misconduct allegations were levied against him, took office in 2009 after the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled him the winner of the 2008 Senate race.
Franken won that race by 329 votes out of almost 3 million that were cast, according to Politico.
