1. How do you figure?
I thought I heard that the recount would beging after certification (SOP), and be completed by 12/13. Where did this info come from?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6620799 /

KO/Kathy B.

BLACKWELL: "We had indicated that Ohio law allows for a recount once the vote has been certified. So, the recount is already a determination."

BLACKWELL: No, we haven‘t. We‘ve told the two officials candidates that have—the candidates that have asked for a recount that, once we certify on December 6, they have five days to certify, I mean, to ask for a recount.

Once they ask for a recount, we will provide them with a recount. And that‘s what I‘ve said from the very first indication that they were interested in a recount. Once it was established that they were statewide candidates withstanding, our law says that they can ask for a recount. We will regard this as yet another audit of the voting process.

----

The lawsuit the Glibs filed was to start the recount BEFORE the final count was certified. This was turned down by the judge because they could prove no damages. In reality, if Kerry had joined that lawsuit, the recount would have been assesed with regards to immediacy because K/E did have a chance. Katherine Blackwell will supposedly certify on Monday. Then the recount will begin.

K/E did not join that suit, but if I remember correctly, there was something on the Ohiodems.org site about a lawsuit they were participating in. That may be a different one, and more about being a part of the overall recount, but not truly a party to it yet.

The recount beginning after the electors are certified on Dec. 13, is a new twist and I'm not sure where that came from. Regardless, if the recount proceeds, before or after 12/13, and there really is a change to K/E, the electors from that state can change their votes or, as we all saw in the opening of F9/11, all it takes is one Rep. and one Sen. to stop Ohio's votes from counting on Jan. 6 when Darth Cheney opens the envelopes.

4. I think you're on to something.
I would not doubt it one bit, as there have been an inordinate amount of trolls coming from under the bridge! Yet another detractor shows it's slimy and wort-ridden head diffused with all the ignorance that has become a blissful vanguard of Republican chicanery!
