59. sigh
Sure, I think it was reasonable for Busby not to contest the election.

Yes, the DNC's Voting Rights Institute called on July 14 for a hand recount. What House Democrats did on June 13 was something else.

I don't know what you find "plain flat out dead wrong" in my statement, given that you apparently go on to concede it. There was no necessity to contest this election; different legal strategies were possible; but as far as I can see, it wasn't possible to contest the election in a manner that focused on the constitutional arguments. You seem to be saying the same thing.

It was not necessary to contest the race in order to request relief on the recount price, was it?

You seem to be reading all my comments through the assumption that I'm insinuating what should have been done, by you or by anyone else. It's not for me to say what should have been done -- I'm not in CA-50.
