Perhaps they should rename the "Sore Loser Law" to the "Wayne Gilchrest Law."
Fact: Nearly 7 in 10 Republican voters voted AGAINST Wayne Gilchrest.
Fact: Weather conditions were worse on the Western Shore where snow and ice hit early. Had weather conditions been equal on both sides of the bridge, Harris would have won by an even bigger margin.

Fact: Wayne Gilchrest is a dirty campaigner who hides behind friendly tv and print media. Gilchrest put Rob Banks up to run to try and dilute anti-Wayne votes. Gilchrest talked EJ Pipkin into running when it was clear that he would lose a head-to-head match-up with Harris. Gilchrest was repsonsible for thousands of election eve robo-calls going out to pro-life voters claiming that Harris was pro-choice. In past campaigns, Gilchrest and his chief of staff have orchestrated dirty campaigns including spreading rumors that a state senator was having an affair, a female opponent was gay, and an attorney opponent got a child rapist off. He also falsely claimed an endorsement by Ronald Reagan in the 1990 campaign. Poor Wayne--he can't take a little negative campaigning.

Fact: Wayne Gilchrest called the Chairman of the Bd. of Elections the day after his primary defeat to inquire about running as an independent. There was no groundswell of voters asking him to run.
Fact: Wayne Gilchrest is a sore loser.
