Candidates Want Second Ohio Recount
By Jay Cohen/Associated Press 12/31

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Two third-party presidential candidates asked a federal court Thursday to force a second recount of the Ohio vote, alleging county election boards altered votes and didn't follow proper procedures in the recount that ended this week.

Lawyers for Green Party candidate David Cobb and the Libertarian Party's Michael Badnarik made their request in federal court in Columbus.

The two candidates, who received less than 0.3 percent of the Ohio vote, paid $113,600 for a statewide recount after the vote was certified earlier this month by the secretary of state. They have said they don't expect to change the election results, but want to make sure that every vote is proply counted.

Ohio and its 20 electoral votes tipped the race to President Bush when Sen. John Kerry conceded the morning after the Nov. 2 election.

2. Tenacious effort admirable!

3. So they likely have proof that

"counties did not randomly select precincts for the manual recount and some workers altered votes to prevent a full hand count."

[AllegroRondo]

4. If they have proof of this, its enough to send someone to jail

11. Then every Senator with integrity will stand up.

I believe that Senator Barack Obama will make the right choice.

In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation; the belief in things not seen; the belief that there are better days ahead. I believe we can give our middle class relief and provide working families with a road to opportunity. I believe we can provide jobs to the jobless, homes to the homeless, and reclaim young people in cities across America from violence and despair. I believe that as we stand on the crossroads of history, we can make the right choices, and meet the challenges that face us. America!

Barach Obama ~ The audacity of hope!

6. Same lies as in FL in 2000--No, some counties never recounted at all!

Carlo LoParo, a spokesman for Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, called the contentions "baseless accusations."

"The ballots were counted in Ohio, they were counted again, they were recounted. The election is over," LoParo said.

___________________

Hell, in Florida in 2000 some counties did not even run the ballots back through the machines for the initial recount; they just reread the results on the tapes! This, by the way, was per Katherine Harris's instructions and contradicted an earlier ruling by the Department of Elections.

We must demand transparency in our elections or our democracy is lost! We cannot have central tabulator computers that can be hacked--this is where the fraud most likely took place.

7. LoParo quote James Baker from Florida 2000: "The ballots were counted....

Carlo LoParo, a spokesman for Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, called the contentions "baseless accusations."

"The ballots were counted in Ohio, they were counted again, they were recounted. The election is over," LoParo said.

They are really getting stale using that same old line from "Selection 2000."

While in Washington it's "Count all the votes."
