It finally took the Mississippi Supreme Court to tell Chris McDaniels that he lost the Republican primary election back in June.

"Hey, I don't know the meaning of the word 'lose.' No really, I don't."

Chris McDaniel's months-long quest to overturn the results of the Mississippi Republican Senate primary appeared to reach its end when the state supreme court rejected his legal challenge Friday.

McDaniel lost to Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) in the June primary, but he has been using the legal system ever since to undermine the election. Allegations of voter fraud and illegal crossover voters have abounded, and the case eventually made its way to the Mississippi Supreme Court.

But the court dismissed McDaniel's challenge on Friday, citing timing and political considerations, according to election law expert Rick Hasen's analysis.

"Sometimes these rulings are a mercy killing. McDaniel’s evidence of fraud seemed weak, and his legal theories about crossover voting even weaker," Hasen wrote. "This timing ruling was a way for the courts to end the process without going through a long drawn out trial. Not that the courts would ever admit they were doing that, but I guess this was in the back of at least some Justices’ minds."

Okay I have seen some sore losers in my time, but this asshole takes the cake.

I hate to say it but I really think that this is the plan for other GOP candidates in the general election as well.

I think that is why Joni Ernst of Iowa is already gathering information about recounts even though the election is still ten days away.

If I am right about this many of our elections may not be decided for weeks, or even months, after November 4th, and some of us could be in for a very long, expensive, and frustrating battle that undermines our democracy and leaves voters stuck in a kind of political purgatory.

Oh joy.
