That Ohio Voting Lawsuit

Remember when I mentioned that there would be a lawsuit about the Ohio vote?

Now you can go read the 93-page lawsuit, and the related motion for injunction against the Electors submitting their votes.
Or go read a summary at dKos.

The detailed allegations include both "traditional" methods of vote fraud, and new methods using electronic voting and vote-counting machines. The bottom line is that according to these calculations, Kerry should have won Ohio by at least 142,537 votes, rather than losing it by 119,000.

I doubt this will actually change the Ohio result (Eris will be busy if it does), but there's a thin sliver of hope here. At the very least it will publicize the major problems we had this year, and is likely to begin Ken Blackwell's downfall.

Eris is already busy. W is her perfect agent, engaged in the perfect mindfuck.

Doubt it. I hear Ken's got his eye on the Governor's mansion.

Of course he does. Doesn't mean he'll actually get there. There are a few other people, including Republicans, he'll have to fight his way through first.

Only the republicans he's pissed off. Personally, I like the guy.

Just got a call from his campaign, soliciting donations.
He's most definitely running for governor. :)
