1. Can Blackwell Do That? |
|
Does Blackwell have the authority to rule that counties not accept recount monies? or do the courts need to get involved? or is it a county decision?

4. I'm listening to it again... |
|
(I streamed it, so I can rewind it to hear exactly what she said)
Yes, she said that Blackwell directed the Boards of Elections of ALL 88 counties not to accept the money - and all the counties except one RETURNED the money until "a recount procedure is in place." What bullshit - there IS a recount procedure. It was a stall. She says, though, that they can't stop it from happening, there WILL be a recount.
Jesus.
Also says that they are going to file to contest the election results on Monday.
Also, there's a 2:30 hearing today about the Delaware County suit; Kerry lawyers will be there.
Theme of the rally tomorrow: "Investigate All 88: Recount Recuse Coordinate Litigate Investigate"
Greg Palast will be speaking.

2. Is he saying the state will pay? |
|
Or is he refusing to recount? In which case, I like tar and feathers and any other quaint form of frontier justice.

5. she didn't go into that... |
|
...she said that they'll make sure that each county gets paid the fee on time, and that the Green/Lib parties are very organized and coordinated and are on top of it.
I swear, I really do hope it's true that this snake runs for governor. I will walk my feet off to get his slimey ass defeated.

I'm hoping with all of my heart that when everything comes out, which I believe it will, that Blackwell will be serving time, not running for governor.

...I've come to loathe him even more than Bush. He's despicable. He's beyond despicable.
Damn, I can't even think of enough adjectives to describe what a pile he is.
