SOUR GRAPES from Richard Tisei. All that teabagging money didn't deliver him a win...
He's crying "foul play" about the officials in Lynn, Lynn, City of Sin! Waaah!
...But, the Tisei team is testing the truth of Tierney’s win. Tisei’s campaign manager, Paul Moore, said he wasn’t able to speak to the town clerk of Lynn and believes there may have been foul play.
....
"The allegations made by Mr. Tisei’s campaign are unfounded. We were in City Hall from 6:30 a.m. yesterday morning until 9:30 p.m. Our phones were extremely busy, but nobody came into the office to make any complaints. We received no calls from the Secretary of State’s Office regarding any such allegations and no voters were challenged.
Other than that, I really have no comment as to what he believes other campaigns did or did not do. We are committed to running every election to the letter of the law and to allege otherwise is quite offensive."
Because of those allegations and the tight outcome, Tisei would not concede Tuesday night. Instead, he met with his supporters and thanked them for their hard work.
“All I can say is we have run a tremendous campaign we should be proud of,” Tisei told his supporters.
