Why should candidates who have absolutely no chance of winning the election have standing to request a recount. The Green and Libertarian candidates combined only got 26,600 votes which is about a fifth of the difference between Bush and Kerry in Ohio. I think only the parties who have an actual shot at winning the recount should have standing to file a suit to request a recount.

The Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court refused to recuse himself and basically said the affidavits submitted by the lawyers were worthless. The evidence the a**clowns come up with is less than sterling. You will hear no more about a recount if you tell them they can have another but it will cost them 1.5 million dollars upfront. Their desire for one in New Mexico died on the vine when they were told they had to pay for it. I hope the court tells to sit down and STFU.

There's plenty of boldness going around here in WA. I'm here, and I'm hip-deep in it.

I don't know what Rossi's next steps are going to be. To move from where we are we need a foothold in the law. That's the difference between us and them.

Yes, they have (possibly, but not yet proven, stay tuned) done illegal things in their zeal to steal this election. But we will not go outside the law ourselves. If there is anything that can be lawfully done, it will be done. You can take *that* to the bank.

some of them KNOW that Bush won but do not care and want to dicate the results THEY want, the majority of voters be damned.


Yep! Just like their idol, Chairman Mao.

I think that very standard is why we're winning more elections these days.

As long as they keep counting they can also ''find ''a box of ''uncounted'' ballots in the dead of night in an abandoned warehouse and add them to the count to get Lurch over the top! Doesnt matter if the ballots are all registered to ''homeless'' people that don't really exist and use the courthouse as their address, doesnt matter at all!

Court: "Gentlemen - I have heard and considered your arguments. Motion denied. Now go screw yourselves."

Won't happen, the most they could possibly hope to get away with would be coming up with a few hundred, or, at most a few thousand "undiscovered" ballots. And if that did happen, each county board of elections would have to get at least one republican member to agree that it is a valid vote for Kerry for it to be added to his total. There was an article here a few weeks ago about how the dems in one county (can't remember which) wanted 459 invalid provisional ballots to be counted, but they couldn't get one republican board member to agree, so they were not counted, as they shouldn't be.

hey - Ohio Freepers - isn't there some legal theory you guys can use to go after these idiots for the expense of this thing? Some creative Ohio lawyer should be able to come up with something and file it. Then you can put out a press release saying "We don't expect to win, we just want to make sure these whiney jerks pay as much in legal fees as it costs our taxpayers to placate them."

Dennis Kucinich is awfully quiet.
He must be quaking in his boots that his district will be scrutinized.
He has some very, very unusual numbers.
I noticed his returns didn't even come in until almost midnight.

What makes me so angry is these stupid idiots wants recount after recount when the difference in votes is 100,000 something votes, that Bush leads with! Rossi wants a revote in an election he won two times already where they ''claim'' this RAT women Gregoire is now the''UNDISPUTED'' winner, with only 100 something votes[that arent real votes anyway] and any request for a revote is outragious and disgusting!How dare he ask for this, and not concede immediatlely. Do they hear themselves?!!!

What a bunch of idiots, in the end it helps the Republicans though because these 2 parties, stature will probably go up among the freaky liberal machine(democrats), then in the next election some of the old "Kerry voters" might switch and vote 3rd party.... Good news I guess...

I wonder if they really think any federal judge who has hopes of future advancement would really want to step into this a week before Congress ratifies the electors?

Exactly. The OH State Legislature needs to tighten the recount laws to restrict recount requests to putative winners. Besides, the Greens and Libertarians have no legal standing to request a recount in the first place. Kerry already CONCEDED. What more do they want?

Exactly. Republicans can't overturn an election where the Democratic winner (in WA State) takes office under disputed circumstances but Democrats are entitled to challenge an election in which the President's margin of victory in OH is indisputable. Tell me what's fair about that.

Whats the use of bothering to ask for another recount wont we just rig that one too?..............Its funny you should say that cause when I saw Rossi on tv today asking for a revote I thought to myself what's the use? With these RATS controlling everything in Washington state won't they just have another fraudelent elections even with the revote if he gets it and tip the votes to Gregoire again? I hate to think that way ,its so pessimistic but sorry thats how I feel!

You're right - and why aren't the Greens and Libertarians filing suit on behalf of Dino Rossi? Someone had to ask the $64,000 proverbial question. I mean, what's the interest of two minor party candidates in being shills on behalf of the Democrats?
