Are the Ohio State legislators as nasty as Floridas?
Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 02:51 PM by trumad
Just curious... In 2000 I remember that Florida's Legislators were going to throw the electorial votes Bush's way no matter the recount outcome... Will Ohio do the same?

1. I was thinking about this also
I have been worried about this also given the timing of the recount in Ohio. If the votes are found to show that Kerry won, I hope that the legislature would not try to defeat the will of the people.

2. The state as a whole is a good deal more
"republican" than Florida was in 2000. Both House and Senate have republican majorities, Gov is R Supreme Court is 5R 2D
