The bad news for the "Kerry supporters" gets worse. First, it was the Minnesota Electors giving one of Kerry’s votes to "Ewards." Then the Ohio Electors officially voted all their votes for W. Now, Ohio’s Chief Justice has said "Non!" to 2 separate election challenges.
Chief Justice Thomas Moyer ruled that the
request improperly challenged two separate election results. Ohio law
only allows one race to be challenged in a single complaint, he said.The challenge was backed by the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Cliff Arnebeck, a Columbus attorney for the Massachusetts-based
Alliance for Democracy, who accused Bush’s campaign of "high-tech vote
stealing."Claiming fraud, the voters cited reports
of voting-machine errors, double-counting of ballots and a shortage of
voting machines in predominantly minority precincts as reasons to throw
out the results.
I wasn’t aware that the "Reverend" Jessie Jackson was an Ohio resident. And, the majority of problems occurred in Democrat Precincts. If they want to sue anyone, it should be the Ohio Democratic party for incompetence. Funny how none of the complaints include precincts run by the GOP. It is a redo of Florida, where, of the 27 of 28 precincts with issues were Demorat. The 28th was Independent. Standing in long lines is not election fraud.
Without listing specific evidence, the complaint alleges that 130,656 votes for Kerry and John Edwards in 36 counties were somehow switched to count for the Bush-Cheney ticket.
No evidence? Amazing. But not unexpected. There has been no hard proof of any fraud by the GOP, as provided by the sore losers Democrats. Yet, these people wasted the time of the Ohio Supreme Court with bullshit allegations. And no one has won the $200,000 prize for proving fraud that would change the outcome. Conspiracy Theories Gone Wild. Video coming soon.
{¶ 7} As Chief Justice, I have statutory authority to determine only
the challenge filed by the contestors to the election of President and
Vice-President. No statute or case law authorizes the filing of
multiple election contests in a single case. The complaint is fatally
defective. I therefore order that the contest of the presidential
election held on November 2, 2004, be dismissed without prejudice. (hat tip to Sean at Everything I Know Is Wrong)
The man has a way with words, doesn’t he? In related news, Ohio certified the second recount. No change. See Blogs for Bush for the 411. Time to cut your loses, Dems.
