If someone gets busted, they want to deny. If denial no longer works, then minimize. If minimization no longer works, then argue it doesn't change the result. If changing the result appears possible go nuclear with partisan hack sore loserman and launch all missiles to argue Kerry fraud to neutralize any bad news then move in for the kill with legal "importance of finality" "stability of government" and others enshrined in statutes as state public policy while the public wasn't really thinking it through.

But then, even if suppression is proven intentional, there should be enough other strategies to always fall back on "doesn't change the result, we won" line of attack.
