6. Here's the first couple paragraphs
Sen. John F. Kerry's presidential campaign asked an Ohio judge yesterday to allow it to join a legal fight there over whether election officials in one county may sit out the state's impending recount.

A pair of third-party presidential candidates, who said that reports of problems at the polls on Election Day are not being addressed, are forcing the Buckeye State to recount its entire presidential vote. But David A. Yost, a lawyer for Delaware County, just outside Columbus, won a temporary restraining order last week blocking any recount there. He told the Columbus Dispatch that a second count would be a poor use of county resources. President Bush won the mostly Republican area handily, unofficial results show.

Also, I think that there must be some reason Delaware County doesn't want a recount so yeah the votes might be there. I am from Ohio and will be helping observe the recount when it happens.

10. Thanks for posting the paragraphs.
I emailed the Ohio Democratic Party last week offering to help with the recount and have'nt heard anything from them. Are you going to observe for the Greens or the Democratic party? Thank you for volunteering, we will need lots of watchers to keep the recount honest.

to volunteer for the Ohio Green party recount. They still need people to help. It takes about 24 hours or so before you will get a response from them.

Sen. John F. Kerry's presidential campaign asked an Ohio judge yesterday to allow it to join a legal fight there over whether election officials in one county may sit out the state's impending recount.

A pair of third-party presidential candidates, who said that reports of problems at the polls on Election Day are not being addressed, are forcing the Buckeye State to recount its entire presidential vote. But David A. Yost, a lawyer for Delaware County, just outside Columbus, won a temporary restraining order last week blocking any recount there. He told the Columbus Dispatch that a second count would be a poor use of county resources. President Bush won the mostly Republican area handily, unofficial results show.

Lawyers for the Kerry campaign asked to join Green Party presidential candidate David Cobb, Libertarian candidate Michael Badnarik and the National Voting Rights Institute in the fight to force the county to participate in the recount. "If there's going to be a recount in Ohio, we don't want it to exclude Delaware County or any other county that might decide to follow Delaware County's lead," Kerry lawyer Dan Hoffheimer said. "It should be a full, fair and accurate recount."

Bush won the critical battleground state by approximately 136,000 votes, a victory that also won him a second term.

Cobb's lawyers filed papers yesterday asking a federal court to take over the case, which is scheduled for state court.

7. Delaware is not a rich county and is heavy Rep.
They don't want to spend the money on a recount.

12. Delaware is pretty damn wealthy ...
Powell is located there, and it's one of the richest communities in Ohio. The city of Delaware isn't doing too bad either. Lots of big subdevelopments.
