Ohio Presidential Results to be Challenged

Ohio's 2004 presidential vote will be challenged as soon as next week in the state Supreme Court, a coalition of public-interest lawyers announced Friday. The lawyers have taken sworn testimony from hundreds of people in hearings in Columbus and Cincinnati, and will use excerpts as well as documents obtained from county election officials and Election Day exit polls to make a case that thousands of votes were incorrectly counted or not counted on Election Day.
Update: A US federal judge has denied a request by third-party presidential candidates David Cobb (Green Party) and Michael Badnarik (Libertarian Party) who wanted to force a recount of Ohio ballots even before the official count was finished.
