Bush Asks Judge to Toss Ohio Election Suit
If this was posted forgive me cause I missed it. Maybe others missed it too tho.

Mon Jan 3, 9:40 PM ET Politics - AP
By ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS, Associated Press Writer

COLUMBUS, Ohio - President Bush (news - web sites)'s re-election campaign asked the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court on Monday to throw out a challenge of the election in this swing state, saying the case resembles "a poorly drafted script for a late night conspiracy-theory movie."

The court filing was made as the Rev. Jesse Jackson (news - web sites) held a rally before hundreds of people in Columbus to support the challenge and urge the U.S. Senate to debate Ohio's results on Thursday when Congress is in joint session for the official tally of the electoral votes.

Thirty-seven Ohio voters who filed the challenge are asking Chief Justice Thomas Moyer to set aside the election results. Some of the voters are suspicious of Bush's victory over Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites), while others say hours-long waits in heavily black neighborhoods caused voters to leave in frustration without casting a ballot.

3. Not to dilute anyones anger but as a named defendant in this
action Bush had to respond, either to request a dismissal or aquiesce to what is submitted. We all know it wasn't going to be the latter
