Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Election Recounts Spread to Nevada and New Mexico

HeadlineDec 01, 2004

In election news in this country, the Green and Libertarian Parties have filed for recounts of the presidential election in two additional states, Nevada and New Mexico. The parties have already filed for a recount in Ohio. In Ohio, Senator John Kerry’s campaign has made its first official move in helping the state recount to go forward. The Washington Post reports that on Tuesday the campaign asked an Ohio judge to allow it to join a legal fight to force election officials in Delaware County to take part in the state’s impending recount. Kerry lawyer Dan Hoffheimer said “If there’s going to be a recount in Ohio, we don’t want it to exclude Delaware County or any other county.”
