Republican Norm Coleman is asking the Minnesota Supreme Court to order the counting of at least 1,350 more ballots in the U.S. Senate race. Coleman's attorneys have argued that local counties didn't follow the same standards when it came to accepting and counting ballots. Here's the appeal. Coleman's team also sent a key provisions document to reporters.

Democrat Al Franken currently holds a 312 vote lead over Coleman. If he is declared the winner, he will be the crucial 60th Democratic vote in the Senate, enough to overcome any filibusters.

The MN Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments for June 1st.
