Allen was going to mount a challenge when he suddenly developed a severe case of permanent laryngitis. I take it someone told him that if the election vote tally was thoroughly examined, some Republican political operatives might find themselves behind bars, and it was safer to let Webb be seated. If a thorough examination of the Kentucky gubernatorial election were to be conducted, and it were to lead to Moscow Mitch wearing stripes that were NOT pinstripes on his suit, I assume someone will tell Bevin in no uncertain terms to accept the results and shut up, since the real results would probably increase the margin of his loss tenfold anyway.
