Sore loser prepares to lose sorely

There's a special congressional election in upstate New York today, and already the waterworks are looming.

Republican candidate Jim Tedisco took the strange step of filing a motion to stall the vote certification in case he loses. Tedisco's main opponent is Democrat Scott Murphy. It's unknown if there are any third party candidates.

On page 9 of Tedisco's motion, he sought a restraining order to prevent the certification of his opponent's win, regardless of the margin of victory.

In other words, Tedisco wanted an order saying that if he lost, his opponent couldn't be declared the winner.

Waaah waaah waaah.

Needless to say, the court struck down that paragraph on sight.

If the Republicans spent as much effort finding decent candidates as they do crying over elections they lose, they might actually start winning more elections again. But nope. They'll never learn.
