The
lawyers for Green presidential candidate
David Cobb and Libertarian presidential
candidate Michael Badnarik, along with Kerry-Edwards
2004 have added election tampering to a
civil suit filed against the state of Ohio
over problems with the state's recount,
RAW STORY
has learned.
The suit, detailed here, alleges
that a manufacturer of voting machines,
Triad Election Systems, which serves 43
counties in the state, is tampering with
the recount. It is unclear exactly what
recourse the plaintiffs' seek; the filing
adds on to an original suit to have the
recount take place before Ohio electors
meet, which failed in the courts. Green
Party spokesman Blair Bobier said the party
hoped to reform the recount process and
suggested Ohio should secure or impound
voting machines.
RAW
STORY has also acquired the affidavit
of the programmer mentioned in this suit
who alleges that such tampering threatens
the integrity of the recount. Click
