The essay below by Steven Rosefeld claims, "Efforts to launch an official statewide recount of the Ohio presidential vote are underway. While it's unclear if a recount will result in a Kerry victory, it's likely to highlight many flaws in Ohio elections that may have tilted results toward Republicans and against Democrats." This is why Veterans for Common Sense believes elections officials, voter registration, and vote counting must be done by non-partisan officials. Even the appearance of a conflict of interest, as is the case in Ohio, is alarming to many citizens who believe in fair, free, and transparent elections for all.
