Only Associate Justice Josiah Dennis Coleman and Associate Justice Ann Hannaford Lamar will be re-elected, because they understood the importance of this case, and they had the guts to actually follow the Law AS WRITTEN.

So you're saying the court should have ignored the deadline for contesting an election, and instead apply the longer deadlines for challenging the qualifications of a candidate instead. I wonder if you would grant that leeway to a ruling you didn't agree with.

Anyway, what I found in that analysis you linked me to was, yes, the deadline for contesting and election was 20 days. The author found some significance that the deadline wasn't indicated in both of two paragraphs, 921 and 923, that addressed the issue. Exactly how many places does a deadline have to be listed before it becomes effective?

I found no mention the other deadlines for contesting the qualifications of a candidate, which is what the dissenting judges quoted.

Look, I want Conservative candidates as much as you do, but conspiracy theories based on omissions won't get that done. Should the GOP close it's primary? Yes. Would your choice have won if the primary was closed? Again, yes.

Apart from closing the primaries, we still have to win the general elections. Winning the electorate over to Conservative values, or at least away from the leftist vote buying, is what it will take to do that. Even if the fraud vote is a factor, we still need to win over enough voters to counter it.

That's the what. Let me know when you're ready to discuss the how.

On that particular issue, three judges DISAGREED with you, and three judges agreed with you, and three judges chicken out.
The three judges that agreed with you, had to go back beyond the law as CURRENTLY WRITTEN, and go DIRECTLY AGAINST THE LAW AS CURRENTLY WRITTEN to come to that FARCE of a conclusion.
So NO, there is NO DEADLINE to file a complaint!
