Challenge Filed to Ohio Vote Count

HeadlineDec 14, 2004

In election news the Ohio delegation to the Electoral College cast its vote for President Bush on Monday but not before a coalition of groups asked the Supreme Court to review the outcome of the state election. A group of Congressional Democrats also wrote Ohio’s governor to ask him to delay the electoral vote until the disputes are resolved. The Rev. Jesse Jackson and attorney Cliff Arnebeck of the Alliance for Democracy accused President Bush’s campaign of “high-tech vote stealing.” A spokesperson for Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell described t he charges as “a ridiculous assertion.” Meanwhile the Kerry campaign has requested that its witnesses be allowed to inspect some 92,000 ballots that have not been counted because the state claims voters did not record a vote for president on them.
