Republicans talk fraud, but file on basis that race was too close to call. An astute friend passed this on today:

The Republicans, the Building Industry Association of Washington and right-wing talk show hosts are trying to whip Republicans into a lather about fraud for a re-vote, but when they got into court they filed on the basis that the race was too close to call.

"If they had a real smoking gun they would have rolled it out today," state Democratic Party Chairman Paul Berendt said. He accused Republicans of "judge shopping" by filing the action in one of the state's most Republican counties.

The GOP's court allegations fail to list any fraud, a clear indication the GOP lacks the kind of case it once claimed it would pursue, Berendt said.
