NEWS FLASH.... HILL CALLING FOR RECOUNT
Folks,
I just learned earlier today that Baron Hill as filed for a
recount. Apparently, there are some anomalies in the results that if
solved could actually change the result of the Ninth District
Congressional race. Let's all keep our fingers crossed!

I also think that we should write letters to him asking him to run
again in '06 in the event that the recount doesn't give us a positive
result. I believe that he is really our kind of candidate.

2. Will do...
....hopefully it will encourage other Democratic candidates to do the same if they lost by a narrow margin!

I'll keep you posted as I find out new info... If they manipulated the results for Bush, you know they extended it to other state and local Republitards.

4. Democrats Ask For Recount In Hill-Sodrel Race
Democrats Ask For Recount In Hill-Sodrel Race
Request Made Over Concerns Of Whether Some Votes Recorded Correctly

POSTED: 3:34 pm EST November 12, 2004
UPDATED: 6:04 pm EST November 12, 2004


INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana Democratic Party requested a recount in the 9th District U.S. House race lost by Rep. Baron Hill amid questions over whether optical-scan voting systems used by some counties recorded straight-party votes erroneously.

The Indiana Recount Commission called an emergency meeting Friday afternoon to impound election materials in both that race and in the Indiana House District 9 race won by incumbent Rep. Scott Pelath, D-Michigan City.

Hill, who lost to Republican challenger Mike Sodrel by 1,485 votes in the southern Indiana congressional district, filed for the recount after a recount Thursday in Franklin County showed about 600 straight-Democratic Party votes had gone to Libertarians in initial tabulating.

Franklin County is not in the 9th U.S. House District, but three counties that are -- Ripley, Scott and Switzerland -- also used optical-scan voting systems provided by Fidlar Election Co. of Rock Island, Ill.

The Franklin County recount resulted in a Democrat winning a county council seat that initially had gone to a Republican.
