Candidates Want Second Ohio Recount
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. They have said they don’t expect to change the election results, but want to make sure that every vote is properly counted.
“We’ve documented in this filing how this recount was not conducted in accordance with uniform standards throughout Ohio” as required by the U.S. Constitution, said John Bonifaz, a lawyer from the National Voting Right Institute representing the candidates.
The votes were counted.
They were counted again.
Then again.
President Bush won by 118,457 votes. Kerry conceded.
Stop wasting everyone’s time and just accept it’s over.
The same goes for the Washington recount. It’s over.
It’s been done to death. The guy in Washington has three weeks to take it to court. His contention is the rules for valid ballots were not consistently and uniformly applied in the hand recounts. Next time, campaign a little harder, or it just wasn’t meant to be.
How many times do they want this count to go on? its over and done with and its time to say no more and that gose for the demacratic crooks:mad::lol:
Bush won Ohio by over 100,000 votes, if the Dem’s want to get that nit-picky then aren’t there many other states that Kerry won by only a couple thousand? Can’t we re-count the votes in those states? Maybe there was voter fraud by the democrats there? Maybe Bush did win Pennsylvania? Maybe he did win Wisconsin…..heck lets just have an election once every other month until the sorry loser are happy:roll:
