I guess its not even a surprise anymore when elections are followed by massive lawsuits, the loser always doing anything and everything in his/her power to contest the winner's results.
According to the Wall Street Journal however, the number of lawsuits challenging election procedures could hit an all-time high this year. The majority of these lawsuits are being filed by the Republican party and individual voters in big battleground states such as New Mexico.
The article states that the cases being brought before the courts may not mean anything if Obama wins the country by the margin predicted, but if it's close and it ends up coming down to a couple of states, all of these legal battles could end up making a difference. Should be an interesting couple of days after the election is over and counted.
