This is quite significant. I am not following this as closely as some others, but I think what this means is that the last major potential group of ballots for Coleman won’t be enough to swing him to victory. This means that the likely remaining argument for Coleman is an equal protection argument, one that the three-judge court, at least, did not seem likely to accept. The hope then for Coleman, is with either the Minnesota Supreme Court or the United States Supreme Court (barring a new federal action), relying on an expansive reading of Bush v. Gore.
