No - they'll still get thier recount - Ohio law is screwy on that - BUT they WONT get it before the real count is done and certified
However, the 100000 dollars doesn't even come close to covering the 1,500,000 actual cost. So you can bet that the state is going to fight it tooth and nail. My guess, the recount will never happen
That's fine by me--trying to undo a certification is more politically "tricky" than attempting to flip the state before it happens.
Per Ohio law no recount can be asked for before the official certification of the results. These results will be officially certified by Ken Blackwell, Ohio Secretary of State, on Dec/6th at the earliest. He will certify that President Bush is the winner of Ohio and its 20 electoral votes. On December 13th, per the US Constitution, the electors from each state will meet to cast their votes, no one and nothing can change this date. On Dec/13th, the Ohio Republican slate will cast their 20 votes for President Bush.
There is no way they are going to start and finish a recount in five to six days, and this recount joke will be tied in these few days in courts.
There will be no recount in Ohio.
