AP, please define "leading vote-getter"

Here's how the AP described the three-judge ruling from Minnesota that Al Franken had won his disputed election with Norm Coleman [emphasis added]:

A Minnesota court confirmed Monday that Democrat Al Franken won the most votes in his 2008 Senate race against Republican Norm Coleman.

And the headline:

MN court declares Franken leading vote-getter

As the Brad Blog asks, doesn't the AP really mean to say that Franken won the election?
