Ohio Recount to Take Place Next Week

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/....ap/index.html

There will be a recount in the state of Ohio next week. Don't expect this to change the outcome of the election, but serious irregularities have been detected and a recount is more than justified to make sure our voting system is not flawed. The final certified vote had Bush winning by 119,000 votes and I expect the recount to shrink that lead quite a bit.

Interesting enough, the Bush team has refused to waive the 5-day waiting period while the other candidates have agreed. A little suspicous, huh?

Why is the American media barely covering this story?

I think it'd be hilarious if it turns out that Kerry won the election!

Don't get your hopes up.

Hopefully it will at least prove that there was intentional fraud by the Republicans (I think there was).

Republicans must be so proud of there party.

If the Democrats did this I would be so embarrassed.

So what would happen if the count did prove that Kerry won that state. Would Bush still be president or would it have to be turned over to Kerry?

Ken Blackwell is gonna oversee this, right? If that's the case, I doubt it'll change much. And even if he didn't, I think Bush has too big a lead for this to be of much use - it might shrink his margin of victory to five figures, but it won't be enough.
