13. A potential problem..
Edited on Mon Nov-22-04 07:53 PM by CementDude
If Kerry/Edwards leave it up to the "Glibs" to make the initial recount request, and the counties join to legally deny the request citing the limited time, high cost and little-to-no chance of the "Glibs" winning Ohio's electoral votes, isn't there a very real possibility that as the clock runs down - this will ultimately be settled in the courts, where some Repub. judge rules that every attempt *was* made to count the votes, and even if some weren't, it wouldn't be enough to swing the state to the "Glibs"?

I could see it differently if it were actually Kerry/Edwards making the recount request. But since they aren't, I don't think this is going to work out in our favor.
