Analysis: UAW faced tough sell with happy VW workers

In addition to Corker and other politicians, other political groups with ties to anti-tax advocate Grover Norquist purchased billboards in Chattanooga that linked the UAW to support for President Barack Obama and to the downfall of Detroit.

"I think the close vote does give the opportunity for the UAW to challenge the election," said Arthur Wheaton, a professor of law at Cornell University.

However, Wheaton said an election challenge would be easier if it could be shown that Corker was speaking on behalf of Volkswagen.
