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.
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?
