Lawyers representing voters upset about problems at the polls plan to contest the results with the Ohio Supreme Court, citing documented cases of long lines, a shortage of machines and a pattern of problems in predominantly black neighborhoods.

2. Clif Arnebeck is Awesome
His argument that "overturning the election results isn't the point" is so true, and so important. The integrity of our election is the point. Like so many others, I doubt the integrity of this election, but the point is that integrity and transparency is what we're fighting for.

The Ohio Supreme Court is 5 Repubs, 2 Dems.

6. They will need concrete proof, not the asinine statistical papers
that have been featured so prominietly on DU. And something that will challenge the 118,000 vote difference. So far, I've not seen it, and I doubt very much the Supremes are going to stop their state election.
