Kerry/Edwards officially are now part of the Ohio Recount. Papers Filed.

Vote Cobb ^

[Next_Time_NJ]

Ohio — Today, attorneys representing the Kerry-Edwards campaign filed papers in Delaware County, Ohio to intervene in legal proceedings in defense of Green Party presidential candidate David Cobb, Libertarian Michael Badnarik and their legal counsel, the National Voting Rights Institute, who are seeking a recount of all votes cast for president in the Ohio 2004 general election.

Here's how likely it is; the DemonRAT entry into the recount briar patch isn't on Fox, MSNBC or CNN. That leads me to believe that it is a bunch of Kalifornica dreaming on the part of the Loony Left.

Interesting analysis....and very well could be correct

[Jaded]

Well I guess they figured that since it worked in the Ukraine and Romania.... burning both ends of the candle, that is, it can work for them. Hahaha, they thought fraud would work for them in the first place.

Stop the world and let me off.

[Cold Heat]

I can't seen to get it to make sense any other way. It is the only way that it makes sense to enjoin the Green's rather than file on their own.

They are pulling the wool over their supporters eyes without making a big media issue over it.

"This is really nothing but a neck massage for the RAT base that loaded their charge cards to the limit to support a loser. That is the way I view it, just to clarify my thoughts on the matter."

I agree with you 100%.

[BROKKANIC]

I'm sure Ohians are enjoying the circus. In 2008 Ohio will easliy turn red just like Florida did after Gore made Floridians look like incompetent voting morons.

Thanks for another state, libs.

[trubluolyguy]

Both barrels. Fire at will.

[maxter]

"What is this? Kerry/Edwards getting even, bankrupt Ohio because we voted against them?"

Well maybe, but I don't think they really want to piss off the Ohio voters. I am sure they can return the favor in '08.

[Jack Deth]

Well, it's time to watch Kerry pi$$ away most of his hoarded stash of election money. I wonder what he hopes to accomplish, anyway?

39 Red States versus 11 Blue states. Ohio isn't going to win the election for him.

Apparently, there's some kind of long shot legal strategy going on here orchestrated by the Democrats. Ohio, Nevada, New Mexico . . if you take those electoral votes out of the count or out of the play entirely, what happens?

[Oblongata]

"the person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed"

That passage is referring to electors, not popular vote. There is no stipulation in the constitution that a popular vote is even necessary. It is left up to the states and legislation to decide how to appoint electors.

Per http://www.ohvotesuppression.blogspot.com/
there are 19531 provisional ballots rejected with
Bush 46847 and Kerry 52126 but other counties still outstanding. Cuyahoga has rejected 8,099.

Total Provisionals was 155428. 155428-(19531+46847+52126+8099) = 28825 provisionals left.

If Kerry were to get 100% of 28825 (which isn't realistic)
then 28825+52126 = 80951 out of provisional ballots.

Kerry needed 136,000 to win and obviously 80,951 isn't enough.

[tinamina]

260 electoral votes needed if Ohio was thrown out...That's why they're aso trying to recount Nevada and New Mexico now.
I've aways wondered why no one called for a recount in PA to protect Bush from Dems deviousness. They had proof some of the voting boes were stuffed prior to the polls opening in Philadelphia.

[line drive to right]

So, take Ohio (20 EV), New Mexico (5) and Nevada (has either 4 or 5 EV; I think 5) out of the equation, and Bush still wins, either 256 or 257 to 252.

[Deetes]

skerry is only up 6000 on the prov. so that plus what are left is 35,000. anyway we look at it not going to happen.

I think it will just make the johns look more wacky.

[Next_Time_NJ]

Its not about enough anymore, its about stealing it from us.

[fortheDeclaration]

in that case, the House could indeed use their vote to select one of two competing slates of electors from that state. Its not that far fetched.

Wasn't it done in the Tilden-Hayes election of 1876?

In 1876 the Democrats nominated Samuel Tilden and the Republicans nominated Rutherford Hayes. When the election results were in Samuel Tilden had won the popular vote by 250,000 votes out of a total of 8.5 million votes cast. The electoral vote however was tight, and in three southern states the results were hotly contested- South Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana. All three were strongly divided between Whites and newly enfranchised Blacks, between supporters of Reconstruction and those who wished to bring it to an end. All three states ended up empowering two separate slates of electors. The Congress passed a special law to decided on the disputed vote. That law created a 15 member commission made up of five senators, five member of the House and five Supreme Court justices. Initially the swing, or fifteenth member of the commission was an independent, however when he was appointed to the Senate he resigned, and a Republican replaced him. The commission then met and in each of the three cases of disputed state slates they accepted the Republican. Under the law that the commission had been set up under, the decisions of the commission could be overturned by vote of both housed of Congress. The House rejected the findings while the Senate accepted it. The House Democrats threatened a filibuster to block the resumption of the count of the electoral votes. The Democrats did not go through with their threat when Hayes agreed to withdraw federal troops from the south thus ending reconstruction when he became President. He was selected.

Its all Bush's fault!

[The Loan Arranger]

I date a lady that is an Advanced Placement English teacher at a high school in one of the the richest communities in our State (Mississippi). The other night she told me (to my astonishment) that her students don't have A.P. textbooks, she teaches from novels and a sample "teacher's edition" of a regular English textbook. The school district can't afford AP books. I asked her "what do the kids in the Delta[poorest part of the State--one of the poorest places in the US]do for books?" She replied; "they don't have any, at all." Just goes to show you how great that Democratic "war on poverty" and caring for the downtrodden (especially African-Americans--the majority in the Delta)has worked out. But they are fine with spending millions of taxpayer dollars on frivolous recounts and lawsuits to "make sure every vote is counted", blah, blah, blah...
