Former US Senator Norm Coleman's campaign is in court today trying to convince a three judge panel to overturn Al Franken's 225 vote lead in Minnesota's US Senate race.

Today the Coleman Campaign is grilling the Minnesota Deputy Secretary of State trying to prove that about 5,000 to 12,000 rejected absentee ballots were rejected improperly.
