We study the ground state of the 3-state Potts glass in 2 dimensions with a Gaussian distribution of couplings by domain wall renormalization group techniques. We find that the glass correlation function decays to a finite value within a distance of about 2.4 lattice spacings. Thus, there is long-range order in the ground state even though, as found earlier, there is a finite zero-point entropy.
