Apparently the programming can't be done in time to deliver all of the machines to be where they need to be on election day. I would imagine that to have any legal remedy he would have to show that it actually hurt his chances to win. Polling at 2% before the election, it would be hard to prove the error hurt his chances. Also, remember that the "Rich Whitey" name only shows off AFTER someone has initially voted for him. Since these are computers, I would imagine that the election authorities could measure how many people changed an initial vote for him after seeing the review screen. More than likely, it will be no harm, no foul.
Come to think of it, the GOP will probably claim that anyone who voted for Rich Whitey meant to vote for it's candidate.
