While the US and international media have focused heavily on voting irregularities in Ukraine for the past week, few media outlets are covering the fallout from the US elections four weeks ago. On Sunday the Rev. Jesse Jackson appeared at a rally of over 500 in Columbus, Ohio to publicly endorse a presidential recount in the state. Jackson’s Rainbow Push Coalition has now joined with the Green and Libertarian Parties in demanding the recount. If John Kerry were to win the recount in Ohio, he would take the presidency. In a conference call with the media, Jackson suggested Kerry backed the recount as well. Jackson said “Kerry was inclined to believe what he was told, and he was told the election was over. But now we’re unearthing information that did not surface at first. I suppose the more information Kerry gets, the more you will hear from him.” Jackson also called for Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell to recuse himself from any role in the recount because Blackwell served on the Bush-Cheney campaign team.
