2004 Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry will file today, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, papers in support of the Green Party/Libertarian Party recount effort. Specifically, Kerry will be filing a request for expedited discovery regarding Triad Systems voting machines, as well as a motion for a preservation order to protect any and all discovery and preserve any evidence on this matter.
Triad Systems has come under scrutiny recently after Sherole Eaton, deputy director of elections for Hocking County, swore out an affidavit in which she described her witnessing the tampering of electronic voting equipment by a Triad representative. Rep. John Conyers, the ranking minority member of the House Judiciary Committee, has requested an investigation into this matter by the FBI and the Hocking County prosecutor.
Previously, the Green Party and Libertarian Party have not fared well in their efforts to get emergency orders regarding this matter in Ohio. In order to pass muster with a judge, the individual or group requesting an emergency order for such a recount must show both irreperable harm as well as a substantial chance for success on the merits. While Green and Libertarian representatives have been able to show irreperable harm, they could not establish a substantial chance for success on the merits, because no recount would deliver Ohio to either party.
Kerry's entry into this recount effort changes the math on this matter dramatically. He can likewise show irreperable harm, and unlike the Green and Libertarian candidates, he can also prove a substantial chance for success on the merits because he lost the Ohio vote by a statistical whisker.
Shhh, don't tell them. I want them to get their hopes up and then dashed as they have been many times before
yes its over call it a day why they have to wahhh this way no reason to pretend he knows its over
jan20 will jk and jj be there in the spirit of togetherness
thinks that make you go hmmmmmmmmmm
TIME MAN OF YEAR BUSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH(must of hurt the libbys)
A statistical whisker?? Over 100,000 votes difference is not a statistical whisker.
Ohhh Kerry ask for an inquiry to satiate his hopeful minions.
This means squat but the deluded ones will think that this is the coup de tat that they've been waiting for.
Basically the DUmmies have gotten more desperate than a fat drunk guy at home alone on prom night.
New York gave all their Electoral Votes to John L. Kerry - and not to John F. Kerry. What are they gonna do about that ?
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!
Who is William Pitt, and why should we care?
But yet a 10 vote difference in WA is VICTORY - a mandate even.
The Dems are like the Japanese Pacific island soldiers who didn't get the word the war ended.
Brad Pitt's dad?
