Some news about the lawsuit.
Edited on Thu Mar-17-05 04:46 PM by politicasista
The lawyers for Green presidential candidate David Cobb and Libertarian presidential candidate Michael Badnarik, along with Kerry-Edwards 2004 have added election tampering to a civil suit filed against the state of Ohio over problems with the state's recount, RAW STORY has learned.

The suit, detailed here, alleges that a manufacturer of voting machines, Triad Election Systems, which serves 43 counties in the state, is tampering with the recount. It is unclear exactly what recourse the plaintiffs' seek; the filing adds on to an original suit to have the recount take place before Ohio electors meet, which failed in the courts. Green Party spokesman Blair Bobier said the party hoped to reform the recount process and suggested Ohio should secure or impound voting machines.

Last time I checked it was not on front page at RawStory either.
Not trying to crash anyone's party because I was hopeful too.
Maybe someone should ask RawStory about it ?

4. Appears significant, but ask an attorney
The filing suggests that the plaintiffs have obtained evidence of intent, and the intent is associated with the recount. Mr Toad's wild ride may be starting.
