Chief justice refuses to remove self from vote challenge
Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Chief Justice Thomas Moyer of the Ohio Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to remove himself from a case challenging the results of the presidential election.
Moyer also rejected a request by voters challenging the results for a speedy hearing and an order that election boards preserve evidence from the election.
The voters and their attorneys filed poorly documented affidavits that contain hearsay, don't indicate who the people making statements are and don't explain what their statements have to do with the election, Moyer said.
The challengers have provided "nothing suggesting that Ohio election officials are engaging, or will engage, in illegal conduct," said Moyer, who called their documents "woefully inadequate."
