The Ohio Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed challenges brought by voters seeking to overturn President George W. Bush's victory in the state and the re-election of Chief Justice Thomas Moyer.

The 37 voters asked to drop both cases Tuesday. The high court granted the resquests without comment.

Attorney Cliff Arnebeck represented the voters who wanted the court to examine several Election Day problems such as long lines, shortages of voting machines in predominantly minority neighborhoods and problems with computer equipment.

The 2004 US Presidential election turned on the state of Ohio's 20 electoral college votes, and not until preliminary results were finally made available the morning after the vote did Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry concede.

Arnbeck said Tuesday that he could not expect to win given the US Congressional certification of the votes last week and the upcoming inaguration next week.

In declining last month a motion to remove himself from the case, Ohio State Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas Moyer, a Republican called the voters evidence in the case 'woefully inadequate.'

Perhaps one day Dems will place the good of the Nation over their Party.

If they were interested in the good of the nation, they wouldn't be Democrats in the first place. However, there are a few, like Joe Liberman and Zell Miller, that do care but they are increasingly ostracized by their own party.

They should appeal to SCOTUS, or the Hague...somewhere!

>Ovah!<

But does it set a precedent for the re-vote for governor in Washington State?

defeated ex-candidate and traitor, John Kerry (Dim-Mass), spent the day hobnobbing with mass-murdering Moslem terrorists and condemning US policy in the Middle East.
