Ohio Votes To Be Recounted

The money for the required fee, $113,600, has been raised in time to meet the filing deadline. Now money will be needed for the next phase of the recount effort which will be recruiting, training and mobilizing volunteers to monitor the actual recount.

A demand for a recount in Ohio can only be filed by a presidential candidate who was on the ballot. In this case, both Green Party candidate David Cobb and Libertarian candidate Michael Badnarik will be demanding a recount.

We wish them all good luck as they do this important work. Would that we could trust the Ohio Secretary of State to cooperate in an appropriate manner. Sadly that would be completely out of character for Mr. Blackwell.
