The AP is reporting that the Ukrainian Supreme court has thrown out Viktor Yanukovuch's latest appeal:
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) - The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected losing presidential candidate Viktor Yanukovych's appeal of last month's presidential revote.
The three-judge panel threw out his appeal, which alleged massive fraud and asked the court to invalidate voting in all of Ukraine's 225 electoral districts. The panel did not immediately explain its ruling.
The appeal was a bid to overturn the Central Election Commission's unanimous refusal last week to consider a similar complaint.
Yanukovych, who still has one more chance to overturn the election results, has said openly he had little hope of success, but has vowed to fight on against the Dec. 26 vote, which preliminary results show Yushchenko winning.
Yanukovych's campaign had said their main appeal is still to come and would be filed with the Central Election Commission only after the commission announces the final results.
The campaign will then seek to prove that massive fraud made it impossible to determine the winner of the vote.
Somebody should put this guy on Double Secret Probation.
