Kerry Jumps Into Ohio Recount

Unnamed Sources | 12/23/2004

John F. Kerry has indicated through sources close to the Democrat party that he intends file papers supporting the Green Party/Libertarian Party recount effort in Ohio.

Kerry's filings will consist of a request for expedited discovery as it pertains to a voting machine system known as Triad Systems, and secondly, a motion for a preservation order to preserve evidence in the same matter. These filings are to be made in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.

Rep. John Conyer of Michigan and the ranking minority member of the House Judiciary Committee, has plans to ask the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a county prosecutor in Ohio today to explore "inappropriate and likely illegal election tampering" in at least one and perhaps several Ohio counties.

This follows the delivery of a sworn affidavit provided by the Hocking County deputy director of elections, Sherole Eaton, in which she alleges that a representative of Triad Governmental Systems, the Ohio firm that created and maintains the vote-counting software in dozens of Ohio counties, made several adjustments to the Hocking County tabulator last Friday, in advance of the state's recount, which is taking place this week.

So how many Ohio judges are there that are going to rule that Kerry is President and toss the incumbent wartime President who won the (supremely-important) popular vote out of office?

This isn't popular vote winning challenger Al Gore versus electoral winning challenger George Bush. This is challenger John Kerry versus incumbent wartime popular vote and electoral vote winning George Bush. If they are stupid enough to just play games on this one and really have nothing....it could blow back bigtime on them. Biiiiiiig time.

Boxer already met with Conyers people, and Jeffords had heard from them as well.

Please god let it be so. The dems were trying to steal the election left and right. Any serious investigation will expose their schemes.

Indeed. But thankfully the Party that Cannot Shoot Straight (the Republicans) have finally stepped up and done some fraud-prevention this election.

It is going to blow back big time on the Rats.... They will keep on losing more elections with this attitude.

[KevinDavis]

Thank god Blackwell was in charge.. He did a good job..

bttt

[Lazamataz]

Like Conyers has ever told the truth.. No Senator will ever do it.. It would kill their career..

In most cases, yes. But when you are in the heart of UltraLiberal Konspirazoid Krazyland, acting like Conyers actually improves your chances of re-election.

After all, the Homecoming Queen in an insane asylum is always elected into the role by crazy people.

[KevinDavis]

I wonder why Boxer called the end of the electoral college. They will not challenge the election.

Why is this in breaking news? This story was from 8 days ago.

What can we do to lean into the curve? How can we popularize the idea and cause them to commit even-bloodier Sepaku?

I wouldn't give the credit to the whole party in Ohio Laz. The credit truly belongs to one man, Ken Blackwell, and his team.

Backdoor Christmas coup attempt from the rats..

What will really be fun is if it gets to a Supreme Court that is four to four with Rehnquist missing.

Because a certain unnamed source has confirmed that the rumor WILL be acted on.

Is their house built so solidly that they can afford to stow thrones at others?

[Bikers4Bush]

It wasn't a waste of taxpayer money in Ohio. The campaigns asking for the recount had to poney up the cash for it.

[KevinDavis]

Make up more false stories about the election..

[gopwinsin04]

My guess is that up or down congressional vote on the Electoral challenge going forward Jan. 5 will slap Boxer/Jeffords down big time.

[Libertina]

Kerry has extra $ to spend, apparently.

[andyland]

What a great Christmas present the libs have given us!! Just when you thought they couldn't get any dumber they go and outdo themselves.

It is truly the political gift that keeps giving....

LOL!
