"This is America: Count Every Vote"
For Immediate Release - January 6, 2004

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA) released the folowing statment addressing the 2005 Joint Session of Congress to count electoral votes for the 2004 Presidential election.

"Today, Congress will conduct a Joint Session to count Electoral Ballots. Along with Congressman John Conyers, the senior Democrat on the House Judiciary, Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs-Jones of Ohio and a number of other Representatives, I have raised objections to the way the Ohio votes was conducted.

• Read the letter From House Members John Conyers, Jr., Stephanie Tubbs Jones, Jesse Jackson, Jr., Jim McDermott, Maxine Waters, Lynn Woolsey, Bernard Sanders, Eleanor H. Norton, Sam Farr, Chaka Fattah, Donald Payne, Anthony Weiner, Diane Watson, Barbara Lee, Elijah Cummings, Robert Wexler, Juanita Millender-McDonald, José E. Serrano, Major Owens, Danny K. Davis, Dennis J. Kucinich, Sheila Jackson Lee, William Clay, Jr., Barney Frank.

Many people don’t understand why we are continuing to highlight problems that occurred in Ohio and elsewhere when Senator Kerry has conceded the election and his campaign staff, as well as many independent analysts, believe that President Bush won Ohio, regardless of irregularities there.
