Cobb and Badnarik formally requesting recounts...

Thanks for the link!

I've admired Cobb since I met him in St. Louis during the 2nd debate. Us College Dems were staying at the same hotel he was and met him in the lobby. Nice guy.

Just a gentle reminder to the poster: lots of Duers on dial up would REALLY appreciate posting clips and not simply a link, since smaller websites often lock up with web traffic

Presidential Candidates To Demand Ohio Recount
Press Release

David Cobb and Michael Badnarik, the 2004 Green and Libertarian presidential candidates, today announced their joint intent to secure a recount of presidential ballots cast in Ohio.

"Due to widespread reports of irregularities in Ohio's voting process, we are compelled to demand a recount of the Ohio presidential vote," the two candidates said in a joint statement. "Voting is at the heart of the American political process and its integrity must be preserved. When Americans stand in line for hours to exercise their right to vote, they need to know that their votes will be counted fairly and accurately. We are acting to protect the rights of the people of Ohio, and the rights of all Americans. Public trust in the democratic process is at stake."

The candidates also demanded that Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, a Republican who chaired the Ohio Bush campaign, recuse himself from the recount process.

He'd like Kerry to win, but not so badly so as to stop him from running.
