Rally and Recounts
As the reports of our county observers and coordinators come in, a pattern is emerging: very few of the counties conducted recounts that could be called "random" in the statistical sense. Each county was different, with some choosing test precincts for convenience, others for reasons known only to the Board of Elections. Defiance County held their recount yesterday, and Trumbull County has the last scheduled recount start date: tomorrow, December 20th. Fairfield County reconvened yesterday to do a hand recount of the 3% with a new machine (the same situation Monroe County faced on Tuesday). All reports can be found in the press release archive. Donations are welcome to help defray the substantial costs of this effort.

Meanwhile, the action shifts over to New Mexico today, where Citizen activists will be converging on the New Mexico state Capitol at noon, in support of the recount. The rally will include speeches by Paul Christie of PACE, a New Mexico nonprofit organization, and Rick Lass for the Cobb campaign. The rally is co-sponsored by the Green Parties of Taos and Santa Fe, Veterans for Peace Santa Fe Chapter 55, and Verified Voting New Mexico. Over eight hundred citizen activists have volunteered to observe the recount, nearly two hundred of whom have attended training sessions in the last week. more

There is also a legal update on the site.

Edit to add: http://www.votecobb.org/press/ has county-by-county recount info.
