Franken gets DFL nomination

Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer has just taken the podium and declined the nomination and called for an acclamation endorsement of Al Franken for U.S. Senator.

The convention delegates accepted a motion in support of that, meaning Franken has the DFL endorsement after one ballot. The word swirling around the press area is that Franken secured 61.8 percent of the endorsement votes.
