Supreme Court Ignores Forrester's Appeal in N.J. Senate Case URL:http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,72538,00.html Monday, December 09, 2002 WASHINGTON — Weeks after losing his New Jersey Senate race, Douglas Forrester lost again Monday in a Supreme Court appeal. The Republican was challenging a candidate switch by the Democrats that made his race much tougher. Forrester lost in the Nov. 5 election to Frank Lautenberg, a former senator whom Democrats recruited about a month before the election to replace Sen. Robert Torricelli. Torricelli dropped out of the race after polls showed him losing ground to Forrester, who made Torricelli's ethics problems the focus of his campaign. The Supreme Court gave no reason for refusing to consider an appeal Forrester filed in October. Justices also had rejected Forrester's emergency request to take up the case before the election. Forrester argued that the candidate switch was illegal and would unconstitutionally disenfranchise absentee voters and New Jersey residents living overseas. Forrester spent about $7.5 million of his own money in the campaign. He received 44 percent of the vote. The case is Forrester v. New Jersey Democratic Party, 02-555.
