Lucas County JUST certified their vote last night

[Blue Diadem]

Lucas County certifies vote
Kerry trims 50 votes from President's win in state

snip:

However, only a few minutes' notice of the board's public meeting was given prior to its start set for 5:45 p.m. Board officials explained the meeting was moved up from 9 p.m. and declared an emergency so there would be time last night for Gov. Bob Taft to sign the vote documents, then forward them today to Washington.

The certified amended vote totals were sought by the Federal Registry in time for a joint session of Congress set for tomorrow, Carlo LoParo, spokesman for Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, said.

" wanted us to do it sooner rather than later today," Paula Hicks-Hudson, director of the board of elections, said.

Ron Royhab, vice president-executive editor of The Blade, called the notification poorly handled and "much too late," not only for the newspaper but for members of the public who have a right under Ohio law to attend such meetings.

I still say something fishy went on in Lucas County.

1. Now how in the hell could the election in Ohio be certified in

Columbus on Monday when all the counties had not finished with their certification?
That is just one more fishy tale in this mess.

2. Just one more Ohio problem

Please folks we need to bum rush all Senators now e mail, fax, and call. Conyers has the goods.

My own little screed on the vote.
