The Gift that Keeps on Giving, Part II.
Bush wins! Again. This is really getting old; Ohio just finished its recount and surprise, surprise—Bush beat Kerry. Oh, but he shaved 318 votes off the lead… of 118,775.
The Green and Libertarian party presidential candidates asked for the recount and raised the $113,600 required under state law for the process.
Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell has estimated that the recount will end up costing taxpayers $1.5 million.
Well, at least “every vote was counted.” But is everyone satisfied? Of course not. We now get to look forward to an Ohio election challenge lawsuit chock full of allegations of voter fraud, ballot tampering, disenfranchisement of minority voters, voting machine tampering, and on and on ad nosium. They even plan on deposing Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, President George Bush, Vice-President Richard Cheney and Karl Rove. John Kerry is reported to have filed a federal legal action to preserve recount evidence, and expect further challenges in New Mexico and perhaps Florida as well. Sure, they’ll have to put up a hundred grand a pop, but that’s a bargain at 1.5 million a recount. Hey, what’s a few million bucks to taxpayers when you can get that peace of mind that only comes with the assurance that “every vote was counted?”
