Greens and Libertarians Team Up to Demand Recount

Posted by timothy on from the pay-it-forward dept.

cyberformer writes "The Ohio election rules state that any losing candidate can demand a manual recount. Today, David Cobb and Michael Badnarik, the predidential candidates for the Green and Libertarian parties, announced that they are joining forces to do just that. A manual recount is important because it will include every ballot cast, whereas the first count only includes ballots that can be read by machine. It could even tip the state (and thus the election) from Bush to Kerry."

    I think it's just a PR stunt, something the Libertarians have always been good at.

    Apparently they aren't very good at PR or maybe they'd have a better showing in the elections.

    The election is over, the results are now known.
    The will of the people has clearly been shown.
    We should show by our thoughts, our words and our deeds
    That unity is just what our country needs.
    Let's all get together. Let bitterness pass.
    I'll hug your elephant.
    You kiss my ass.


    From here.
