FEDERAL JUDGE RULES THAT OHIO RECOUNT WILL GO FORWARD IN ALL COUNTIES
Green Party presidential candidate David Cobb today
expressed his satisfaction with a ruling by a federal judge taking
jurisdiction over a Delaware County, Ohio lawsuit and denying the
county's attempt to stop the recount of presidential ballots in that
county.
"We are very pleased that the judge recognized
our right to a recount and that the recount will go forward in each and
every county in Ohio," said Cobb.
The judge also provisionally granted the motion by
the Kerry-Edwards campaign to intervene in the lawsuit in defense of the
position of Cobb and Libertarian Michael Badnarik. Although the judge
did not agree with Cobb that the recount should proceed on an expedited
basis, the Cobb campaign is confident that a full and complete recount
will take place.
