It looks like the thread of 2004 is starting to unravel, three prosecutions in Ohios biggest county are starting smell like cover-up. Prosecutors say these cases involve "rigging" the recount in Cuyahoga County (Cleveland), where tens of thousands of votes were shifted from John Kerry to George W. Bush, or else never counted.
Ironically this recount was not forced by the Democratic Party, but by the Green and Libertarian parties. They charge the recount was fraudulent due largely to the kinds of irregularities with which the Cuyahoga poll workers are now charged. Those charges carry sentences of up to 18 months in prison each.
The ballots from the election are being preserved. But the Cuyahoga prosecutions provide more evidence that we still don't have a reliable vote count for the election that gave George W. Bush a second term.

Plus look what is happening in Wyoming, Cheneys home state wow .the fellow that lost the race is not calling for the recount because he would have pay for it out of pocket.
He is looking towards the next election and see if he can get an honest election that time for whoever is running.
<< He recount is planned for sometime this month, said Liz Howell, one of three Sheridan residents who plans to participate.
If citizens want to exercise their constitutional and legal right to ensure our elections are accurate, great, Trauner said Thursday sfrom his home. But obviously I don't have anything to do with this.
Trauner lost to incumbent Republican Barbara Cubin by 1,012 votes out of 193,369 cast in the Nov. 7 general election. The margin was too great to mandate an automatic recount, and Trauner did not request a recount, which he would have had to pay for. But he did write a letter to the state canvassing board asking it to look into two specific situations. >>
