Apparently, her counsel decided it was not worth the $$$ to file with the Court to call for a recount. Waited to see if she would file for recount due to problems in primary, today being the deadline (Friday was a holiday).
The State's report, combined with the County Clerk's report, would not have enough evidence for the court to rule in her (Inouye) favor.
Congratulations to Malama Solomon!

Or not.

I was a a committee hearing in Honolulu a year or so ago and Malama Soloman arrived late to the hearing announcing as she walked in: "God I hate this job."
