Kerry Joins the Fight in Ohio! |

Kerry Team Seeks to Join Fight To Get Ohio County to Recount
Sen. John F. Kerry's presidential campaign asked an Ohio judge yesterday to allow it to join a legal fight there over whether election officials in one county may sit out the state's impending recount.
A pair of third-party presidential candidates, who said that reports of problems at the polls on Election Day are not being addressed, are forcing the Buckeye State to recount its entire presidential vote. But David A. Yost, a lawyer for Delaware County, just outside Columbus, won a temporary restraining order last week blocking any recount there. He told the Columbus Dispatch that a second count would be a poor use of county resources. President Bush won the mostly Republican area handily, unofficial results show.
Lawyers for the Kerry campaign asked to join Green Party presidential candidate David Cobb, Libertarian candidate Michael Badnarik and the National Voting Rights Institute in the fight to force the county to participate in the recount. "If there's going to be a recount in Ohio, we don't want it to exclude Delaware County or any other county that might decide to follow Delaware County's lead," Kerry lawyer Dan Hoffheimer said. "It should be a full, fair and accurate recount."

9. Alot of us faithful Kerry supporters said............ |

....he would do the right thing when the time was right. This won't be the end of it either. I know the man 's a fighter not a quitter as do many others around here. He approaches things differently than what some people like but he is not going to take a running dive off a cliff and ruin his chances of getting the best results out of all the evidence gathered. This is just the beginning this man is far from done. Hopefully this will take away some of the doubts of all the naysayers around here.
