more realistic to believe that the Democrats will get relief through the courts.
I'm apprehensive that won't happen. The OH Supreme Court is GOP-dominated, and so is the US.
It appears to me that the only realistic hope is whatever Congressional action can be done, on the basis of (hopefully) a fair, non-partisan FBI/Ohio Attorney General investigation.
And I'm unclear what remedy that Congressional action would lead us to--might it just be, to not count Ohio's Electoral votes?
That wouldn't help much, putting Bush at 266 to Kerry's 252. If NM and NV both were to be recounted and turned around, though, that would give it to Kerry, if those votes changed to him. But the $$$ they are asking for, for recounts there, seems prohibitive, unless the Dems get involved in asking for and funding them.
Thanks for the summary of the lawsuit, though. It's good Kerry got involved. I'm hopeful, but apprehensive about the courts, though.
