AP: Ohio Recount Resembles Florida in 2000

Appologize if this is a dupe...

Ohio Recount Resembles Florida in 2000

44 minutes ago

By JOHN NOLAN, Associated Press Writer

CINCINNATI - In a scene reminiscent of Florida circa 2000, two teams of Republican and Democratic election workers held punch-card ballots up to the light Wednesday and whispered back and forth as they tried to divine the voters' intent from a few hanging chads.

8. LBN is Late Breaking News

If you get something hot that's news, and it hasn't been posted yet, you can post it there. You have to use the headline that comes with the article though.

3. I hope it does get as bad as Florida in 2000...

Only this time I pray our side comes out on top and Bush & Company can be sent packing to Crawford. That bastard crook and his boy Cheney ought to be... For the sake of democracy something has to prevent them from pursuing their agenda. They're criminals and they deserve to face the law. So, yes! Let it get crazy like Florida -- I hope people take to the streets and raise absolute hell in the name of freedom and democracy. Another four years of the co-presidency of Bush and Cheney will set this country on a path to destruction.

7. 'divine', 'dissidents', AP has got em all

Really have the market cornered on semantic influence, don't they?
Wait'll they start talking about 'legal wrangling' again, then it really will be just like Florida in 2000.

10. Good article - the count won't change mantra

is pretty disturbing in light of TRIAD "prepping" the machines before the recount. Triad in 41 counties in OHIO.
