At least they weren't trying to go to court to get the election overturned. That would have been priceless. What's sad is that if it did get up to the Supreme Court, they might have actually found 2 or 3 justices to go for it. Their main reason for not doing it is a) it's legally indefensible b) after Bush v Gore it would have been politically suicidal and c) an overturned election would have given the Democrats a shot at the seat.
