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.

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.

I would like to see Ken Blackwell appointed to a position of election oversight. Perhaps a new cabinet position? Some sort of Election Czar in the Bush administration? Can we get the ball rolling on that?

[KevinDavis]

No only the startup fee. The state of Ohio had to pay for the rest..

[Lazamataz]

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

No.

And isn't that really the joy of it?

That's probably what the Rats are banking on, but in that case Rehinquist would hear the appeal from Ohio.

[Bikers4Bush]

Like hell!!! We want him as our next governor! We need to get rid of the RINO's here and he would be the perfect start.

We Must Be Ambiguously Firm In Our Resolve To Count All Ohio Votes

schadenfreude

[Bikers4Bush]

Now that I had not heard. I'll have to call the Secretary of States office and see if they intend to recoup that money by charging the campaigns.

[Lazamataz]

Too funny!

[Bikers4Bush]

Absolutely. We only need him five days a week. The nation can have him for the other two.

I don't think we can bank on anything involving Rehnquist these days. Its very possible we could have an 8 member court in the near future.

Would much rather read " John Kerry jumps into Ohio River".

In the wind, or into the wind?;)

Can we get Rehnquist to vote now, and open it later if we need it?

[gopwinsin04]

I guarantee he will be there to hear that case, even in a stretcher..

We could have Carnac divine its contents.

[RogerWilko]

The REAL funny thing is the DUmmies think that we are SCARED... WOOOOOO... Booga Booga!!

Most of them can see the fear and desperation in us!

Makes me kinda wonder if they're actually looking at the right web site! I'm having a VERY difficult time trying to find it myself, except for the fact that tears are rolling down my face from laughter at reading their comments, and it makes it hard to read! LMAO!!

[Arkinsaw]

I wouldn't be making any guarantees on Rehnquist.
