Is there really such a thing as adults anymore? Just seems like big children that sue at every life hurtle they encounter.

Wish there were stricter rules for frivolous lawsuits, and the accuser has to pay all legal fees if found frivolous.

It’s not a frivolous law suit. Almost every election this close has them. Mirra is a great rep, and a wonderful guy. As a democrat who proudly voted to keep Lenny as my rep (even tho he’s a republican) he is a great rep.

Any election this close needs a few recounts. That said, you're not wrong that the GQP has been particularly lawsuit-happy these days, so they were probably thinking of suing no matter the margin.
