Well many republicans did, calling him a sore looser.

A law that only applies to republicans.   Republicans have a
rigth to fight it in court, the democrats don't because
republicans will immediately brand them sore loosers.

And Sean Hannity will lead the charge.

About year or two after Bush/Gore there was a hotly
contested congressional race in Wa****ngton.   After
months of recounts, the democrat was declared the
winner.   The republicans were in court faster than
you can say recount.

There is a long history of lawyers getting involved in
various elections, settling disputes on both sides.

The hanging chads in Florida was nothing new.   It occured before
in other elections accross the US of A.
