What is the political make up of the Ohio Supreme Court?
I ask because based on this article if they decide to hear the recount challenges presented by Jackson and Arnebeck they can "declare a new winner or throw out the results".

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=519&ncid=703&e=1&u=/ap/20041213/ap_on_re_us/ohio_electoral_college

The Rev. Jesse Jackson (news - web sites) and attorney Cliff Arnebeck of the Massachusetts-based Alliance for Democracy accused President Bush's campaign of "high-tech vote stealing."

The dissidents claim there were disparities in vote totals for Democrats, too few voting machines in Democrat-leaning precincts, organized campaigns directing voters to the wrong polling place and confusion over the counting of provisional ballots by voters whose names did not appear in the records at polling places.

The challengers allege unlawful ballots were added to the total and legally cast ballots were altered. Without listing specific evidence, the complaint alleges 130,656 votes for Kerry and John Edwards (news - web sites) in 36 counties were somehow switched to count for the Bush-Cheney ticket.

If the court decides to hear the challenge, it can declare a new winner or throw out the results.
