Ohio Justice Throws Out Election Challenge

Thrown out on a technicality, can be refiled.

Snip

Without listing specific evidence, the complaint alleges that 130,656 votes for Kerry and John Edwards (news - web sites) in 36 counties were somehow switched to count for the Bush-Cheney ticket.


The allegations are based on an analysis comparing the presidential race to Moyer's Supreme Court race against a Cleveland municipal judge.


But nothing in state law or any previous court decision allows challenges to be combined, Moyer said.


"Were this court to sanction consolidation here it would establish a precedent whereby twenty-five voters could challenge, in a single case, the election results of every statewide race and issue on the ballot in any given election," Moyer wrote.


Messages seeking comment on the court decision were left for Jackson and Arnebeck.

8. Frankly- that is one of the most unbiased reports
on election fraud we have seen. It lists the numbers. It says that kerry "may have" won. And it shows the chimp looking stupid but concerned.
