FEDERAL JUDGE RULES THAT OHIO RECOUNT WILL GO FORWARD IN ALL COUNTIES

Green Party presidential candidate David Cobb today expressed his satisfaction with a ruling by a federal judge taking jurisdiction over a Delaware County, Ohio lawsuit and denying the county's attempt to stop the recount of presidential ballots in that county.

"We are very pleased that the judge recognized our right to a recount and that the recount will go forward in each and every county in Ohio," said Cobb.

The judge also provisionally granted the motion by the Kerry-Edwards campaign to intervene in the lawsuit in defense of the position of Cobb and Libertarian Michael Badnarik. Although the judge did not agree with Cobb that the recount should proceed on an expedited basis, the Cobb campaign is confident that a full and complete recount will take place.

Have they ever rigged a recount?

6. We have to look at the pattern of the ballot, as well as just the count.

The Recount will just make sure that ballots will be counted using the program that matches the candidate order in that precinct.

If the ballots and candidate sheet were intentionally mismatched, then it should create a discernible pattern that a recount will not find, but a fraud investigation JUsTTTT might! Which is why we need both.

4. Us Greens are not Dems. We just want free and fair elec. Y suspicious?

I don't think there's anything suspicious about wanting to spread freedom and democracy. Last thing I heard those we patriotic American values.

5. I have those same questions

One picture I saw of people doing "recounting" showed a whole line of people in front of computers.

Aren't computers the problem?

Won't they use the same "technology" to recount that they did to count?

Is anyone paying attention to this stuff?

Why can't we go back to stone-age technology to vote? How 'bout colored marbles for each candidate? At the end of the day you count the damn marbles?
