Formal demand for a recount of the presidential ballots cast in Ohio
In This Post
(1) What else to say to Blackwell: it's urgent you contact him TODAY because the provisionals are going to be counted tomorow(sat ,the 13th) and he's the tie breaker in all disputes
(2) Exciting new recount info-- 3rd party candidates will definetely request it. They just need money
The issue I mentioned earlier had to do with a brand new ruling in Cuyahoga County that provisional ballots in yellow packets must be “Rejected” if there is no “date of birth” on the packet. The Free Press obtained copies of the original “Provisional Verification Procedure” from Cuyahoga County which stated “Date of birth is not mandatory and should not reject a provisional ballot.” The original procedure required the voter’s name, address and a signature that matched the signature in the county’s database. http://www.freepress.org/columns/display/3/2004/985
In addition, once the provisional ballots start being counted Saturday, anytime there is a question of the legality of one of the ballots it will be voted on by two Democrats and two Republicans. If there is a tie (which I assume in most cases there would be), Ohio Secretary of State Blackwell breaks the tie.
CONTACT BLACKWELL NOW: SAY "The new rule requiring birthdays on the outside of provional vote packets are outrageous and must be negated! Furthermore, whenever when you are urged to break ties in provisional ballot disputes, I strongly urge you not to exclude votes based on technicalities. It is immoral to disenfranchise people in this way!"

--There is also exciting new information about recounting Ohio. David Cobb in conjuntion with Michael Badnarik, the 2004 presidential candidates for the Green and Libertarian parties, today announced their intentions to file a formal demand for a recount of the presidential ballots cast in Ohio.
The Cobb and Badnarik campaigns are in the process of raising the required fee, estimated at $110,000, for filing for a complete recount. The campaigns are accepting contributions through their websites. The Cobb-LaMarche website is http://www.votecobb.org . The Badnarik-Campagna contribution page is https://badnarik.org.
