The purpose of the lawsuit was to theoretically right the wrongs of oh my god having a third party candidate on the ballot. In causing the problem of having multiple versions of the ballot floating around, they could have asked the judge in the case to rule that the absentee ballots that had Nader on them were legitamate. They did not, creating the current problem.

Old military rule....If you're' going to complain about something, you had best have a valid solution.
