Tennessee Democratic Party Believes Stolen Election Fight is Over

The Tennessee Democrat Party and their venerable leader, Gray Sasser, consider the ruling by U.S. District Judge Robert Echols to be the final verdict for Sen. Rosalind Kurita's lawsuit against them. (She will undoubtedly appeal to the 6th Circuit Court.) It didn't take long for Sasser to come out with a press release claiming victory:

"We are obviously pleased with the ruling. She has now had her day in court twice, and the judge ruled that the Democratic Party was well within its legal bounds to nominate Tim Barnes as our Democratic nominee. Furthermore, the Tennessee Democratic Party acted in a fair and judicious manner, making every effort to keep this matter open to the public. We are now looking forward to Election Day."

If the ruling is upheld and Sen. Kurita's write-in campaign is unsuccessful, the Tennessee Democratic Party will have proven that it can overturn the will of the voters at their own discretion. Who needs an election anyway?
