and this "fray" you speak of is nothing more than lawyering to endorse a Bush win in Ohio, not to challenge it. Kerry is supporting the status-quo of the Establishment of which he is part of!
Read the actual statement, as reported on the Keith Olbermann Show and you will get a totally different impression that what the Kerry apologists want you to get.
As to the people that are really fighting for us in Ohio:
Which brings us back again Washington. There, Mr. Conyers wrote yesterday to the various chairmen, network presidents, and news division leaders at ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, and the Associated Press, requesting that they release to the House Judiciary Committee “the raw exit poll data from the 2004 November presidential election you purchased from Mitofsky International and Edison Media Research.” I suppose I should have some inside information on NBC’s response, but I don’t. Responses from the other networks have thus far spoken of the need to wait for final reports to be compiled from the data — which would seem to be exactly the opposite of the point Conyers is making.

Ohio County Reports: Details of an Injustice
by David Cobb The Ohio recount is uncovering serious problems in our electoral processes that must be addressed immediately, both in Ohio and other states. The Green Party has posted a number of the Ohio County recount reports on its website at
http://www.votecobb.org/recount/ohio_reports/index.php, and more are being posted every day.
<snip>
While many of the local election officials and staff members we have met in Ohio’s 88 counties are hard-working, well-meaning people, almost none of them have allowed the recount to proceed using “random” recount processes. In addition, we have found election and recount procedures in several counties that do not appear to follow the spirit or letter of Ohio Election law. Finally, election laws appear to have been applied unevenly across Ohio in ways that produced unfairness against poor and minority voters.
We will continue to post the latest information and analysis on the www.votecobb.org website as it becomes available.
David Cobb was the Presidential candidate for the Green Party during Campaign 2004 (www.votecobb.org). He has joined with Michael Badnarik of the Libertarian Party to file an historic recount challenge to the 2004 presidential election results in Ohio.http://www.commondreams.org/views04/1222-31.htm
