Jackson Joins Critics Of Ohio Vote
Civil Rights Leader Says Court Should Consider Setting Aside Bush's Win
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Although John Kerry has conceded the election and the Democratic Party is largely on the sidelines, critics of Ohio's vote count on Nov. 2 have found plenty to gripe about -- uncounted punch-card votes, disqualified provisional ballots and too many votes for President Bush.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Sunday that the Ohio Supreme Court should consider setting aside Bush's win in Ohio and that Congress should investigate how Ohioans voted.

Bush defeated Kerry in Ohio by 136,000 votes, according to unofficial results.

"This is about the integrity of the vote. This is not about the Kerry campaign," said Jackson, who supported the Democrat for president.

2. Watch the media clip
If people are able to, I encourage everyone to watch the media clip from the actual news broadcast.

3. Come on, Jesse! Way to go!
Finally! We need to speak out about this and I'm glad that Jesse is out there in the media. He can get their attention.

I still say that we should take to the streets.
