Ohio recount volunteer training to take place Dec 11 or 12

[Imperialism Inc.]

I didn't see this anywhere in the forum but I may have missed it.
From an email from the Cobb campaign received last night:

...

The next week is going to be very busy: we will have,
by the end of this coming weekend (December 4-5), our
state wide organizational structure fully in place. 8
Regional Coordinators, working with county organizers
in each of Ohio’s 88 counties, will be organizing
volunteer trainings and scheduling.

You will be contacted by these organizers as to when
and where trainings will be held, and how the
scheduling for observers will be done; we expect the
majority of the trainings to take place the weekend of
Dec 11/12.

Thank you for your patience. We understand the
impassioned desire to begin the recount. We are
working to make sure that Ohio will be as organized
fluid and effective as possible.

3. 11/12 Dec???? What's wrong with this picture?

Doesn't the electoral college vote on Dec.13th?

The people who sent out misinformation to Ohio voters about place and date they could vote have apparently been reactivated.

5. The Ohio court was the one that decided this.

Cobb was trying to get a count before the deadline but the court ruled that since there was basically zero chance that Cobb would win due to the recount that it wasn't justified to recount before the initial results were certified. The only ones who could have potentially done that were Kerry/Edwards and they didn't.

So yes, you are correct. There basically zero chance that the recount will effect the Ohio electors at this point. It is about the integrity of the system at this point.

6. I would say that is an accurate asessment

[merh]

12. If the certifies to the votes on Monday the 6th, then the recounts

should begin on the 7th or shortly thereafter. Why wait until the 11th and 12th for training? I don't understand! :shrug:

10. The action right now is with Cliff Arnebeck

and The Alliance for Democracy. They are going to court with the K/E lawyers intervening. They are supposed to file tomorrow. The Cobb-Badnarik recount is a separate issue. Get it?

13. Get what?

That you accused me of spreading disinfo? Yes I get that quite well.

So my post is about Arnebeck? Hmmm I could swear it was about an email from the Cobb campaign I received just yesterday.

14. And by the way.

K/E are interveening in the Cobb-Baradnik Vs Deleware case. I don't think it is correct that they are helping Arnebeck and Alliance for Democracy (unless it is something that happened within the last few hours).

“Once we file the litigation.” Arnebeck added, “aggressive discovery will proceed, and we'll get to the truth. I want to reemphasize once again as we did at the previous press conference that the purpose here is not partisan, the purpose here is not destructive toward anyone and we invite all candidates, we invite the Bush campaign and the Kerry campaign to join and cooperate in a non-partisan effort to find the truth, gather the facts, and assure the public, and assure both candidates, that this is an honest election."
...

Arnebeck is basically trying to force discovery of some things. Most importantly the raw exit poll data from election day. He has also said he thinks he may be able to challenge Dec 13th as the deadline for overturning the Ohio electors.

See this thread for a link to an Arnebeck interview.

And, sorry to jump on you but I didn't much appreciate the disinfo remark when you still clearly are a little fuzzy on what is going on. No offense.
