Ohio's 2004 Presidential vote will be challenged as soon as next week in the state's Supreme Court, a coalition of public interest lawyers announced Friday.
The Lawyers have sworn testimony from hundereds of people in hearings in Columbus and Cincinnati, and will use excerpts as well as documents obtained from county election officials to make a case that thousands of votes were incorrectly counted or not counted on Election Day.
Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell has not yet certified the November 2nd vote.
State election law says an election challenge must show that the wrong candidate has been declared the winner, or it can be dismissed without a hearing.
The state Supreme Court Chief Justice will hear the case.
The Ohio Republican party publicly dismissed the challenge on Friday, according to the Associated Press, but the coaltion announcing it said they were ready to litigate.

Let the grand uncovering of the Rats' voter fraud scheme begin!
I can't wait to see this backfire!
"Public Interest Lawyers" = self-appointed do-gooder socialists
And all without John Kerry looking like he's involved; they're not done yet.
Court will dismiss case.

Here we go! The Pearl Harbor sneak attack to steal the election has begun..
The judge is a Republican. They also haven't finished counting so this case is moot.
I hope they keep pushing it. If the Dems try to accuse us of fraud, they'll only end up exposing their own attempts to steal this election for all to see.
Whew, the Ohio Supreme court Chief Justice is GOP.. http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/midwest/2004/11/10/47588.htm
Even if they fail, the challenge itself gives them a talking point for the uninformed for the next four years.
Doesn't matter though, becuase the Ohio State Chief Justice is GOP, is this a setup to go to more liberal federal district court under supposed 'violations' of the Voting Right Acts?
I think this may be a setup to go to Federal appeals court after the case is denied and shop around for a liberal panel of justices to hear the case..
Sounds like "Winter Soldier - 2004" to me.
I know Ive posted this dozens of time already but I don't think we should forget. The democrats have to be carefull because there are a lot of other unresolved problems in other states.

Looks like the Dims have waited just about as long as they could before having to tip their legal hand..
They won't get past the 6th Circuit panel.
Anyhow, you cannot count votes that never existed.
These are moonbats and cranks leading this.
If the Democrooks get involved in this, they'll get their hands chopped off.
