<\/a>In addition to Emily Levy’s coverage<\/a> here on Friday night, and Winter Patriot’s coverage<\/a> last Thursday (which includes actual briefs and letters filed in the case), Miriam Raftery filed a superb summation at RAW STORY today<\/a> of where the Busby\/Bilbray CA50 Election Contest stands as of last Friday’s hearing.
