I’m guessing the party looked at this and saw that the PR downside was far greater than any potential upside of delaying and deadlocking the court by forcing Prosser to recuse himself. Fear of backlash working against them in recall elections maybe?

You could be right. I can't imagine the manure on their faces if they actively fought to disenfranchise thousands of voters by having their ballots rejected, or by demanding a re-vote. It was getting embarrassing, and I'm sure that played into it.

Still, for her to go against the most strident leftists imaginable was something commendable.

Agreed. They pissed away enough taxpayer money on this already.
