COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio delegation to the Electoral College (news - web sites) cast its votes for President Bush (news - web sites) on Monday, hours after dissident groups asked the state Supreme Court to review the outcome of the state's presidential race.

The dissidents claim there were disparities in vote totals for Democrats, too few voting machines in Democrat-leaning precincts, organized campaigns directing voters to the wrong polling place and confusion over the counting of provisional ballots by voters whose names did not appear in the records at polling places.

Led by a coalition representing the Green and Libertarian parties, the dissidents are paying for recounts in each of Ohio's 88 counties that will begin this week. The recounts are not expected to be complete until next week.

WTF? That's wrong in so many ways.

...Editor & Publisher magazine or to Columbia Journalism Review is in order, Steph.

I posted in Election 2004 - they changed dissidents to challengers. They must have gotten a lot of letters. LOL!
