Need to REVOTE Ohio, not recount
They have messed with the evidence and broken too many laws. A clean recount effort is impossible. The election needs to be invalidated and REVOTED.

7. I vote for a revote
recounts just allow these Republican punks to manipulate what's being recounted and do dirty things during the night....

I want a Revote...sorry, don't trust Republicans and they haven't done anything to get our trust.

17. I say - REVOLT!
They call us dissidents! Then if they will not rightly count our votes and they will not rightly conduct a recount -- then we demand a re-vote. If they refuse us that then we take to the streets and revolt in civil disobedience! The time for action has been upon us, and it is time that we hold those responsible for this upstart election accountable.

9. The only body that could have ordered
Edited on Mon Dec-13-04 02:49 PM by righteous1
a revote was the Ohio Supreme Court and their authority ended when the slate of electors cast their votes

10. And how, pray tell, can you guarantee they won't do the same
thing during a revote?

15. Because you change the terms
like they did with the recall in Venezuela. And you have international monitors.

19. Recounting the votes won't prove anything.
Trust me, they covered their trail.

20. That's what I've been trying to convey
since last week to the people in the recount team. They need an assurance that this is a RANDOM recount and they need to be able to ensure that the ballots are in the right rotation (positioning must be correct) before being run through the machines. From what I've read and heard, this is NOT happening.

21. That would actually be illegal....
...as unfair as the vote might have been, anywhere for that matter....there can be no revote for a federal office. November 2, was the vote deadline. For example, say there had been a terrorist act on election day...and some people in some precincts didn't get to vote, because their precinct or let's expand it, county was attacked. There would be no chance to vote the next day.
