Reply #43: Because they don't want to look like kooks.

[Silverhair]

Outside of DU and similar groups, (And even some DUers have posted that they think that W really did win the election, and were heavily flamed) most of the general public, and the MSM hold the belief that W really did win. They consider only internet kooks to be believers of the stolen election meme.

Any senator that challenges the seating of a state's electors, claiming voter fraud, will look like a kook the the general public. Sorry if that offends anyone, but that is a fact. No politican wants to look like a nut case. And since he would be a Democrat making the challenge, it would be extension, make the whole party look like kooks too if the party gave him any support. So it would appear that the party leadership has let it be known: "Don't say anything."
