Greens and Libertarians Team Up to Demand Recount

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."

The left would have to explain their excuses

[Shivetya]

for declaring their loss before wasn't true?

(read the whole thing before karma nuking me)

After all they have blamed everyone BUT THEMSELVES.

they blame evangelicals
they blame rednecks
they blame idiots
they blame racists
they blame bigots
they blame homophobes
they blame ballot tampering
they blame initimidation
they blame lack of information
they blame the swift boat veterans
they blame the Clinton team (new one today)

So suddenly if they won how would they explain Bush's loss?

Until you look inward you will never find the problem. This has been the primary problem with the Democrat party these last 4+ years. You cannot win if all you are doing is blaming someone else for your failure.

Asking for a recount is just another way of trying to insinuate something was amiss and caused the loss. Having these third party people demanding a recount is nothing but pure audacity which will cost many communities more money than is justifiable.

What should be done is to identify ways to make the next Presidential election smoother. Instead of wasting taxpayer money on an election that will NOT change I want the money used to prevent this type of BS.

I don't want a recount.

I want a verifiable election system where the voter is photo verified that they are who they are and they have proof that their vote was accounted for properly. That is all we need.
