It's nice to know that Democrats are so concerned with protecting people's right to vote that they would mount this ridiculous challenge to the results of the presidential election in Ohio. Though you hardly need to point out the number of states where the margin of victory for one candidate or the other was closer than the final Ohio result with Bush beating Kerry by over 118,000 votes.
You might wonder if their concern for the electoral process might also extend to Washington state where the Democrat candidate for governor has now been declared the winner after unverified provisional ballots were erroneously (oh sure) included in the tally (see below for other examples of Wash. State vote fraud).
With all the truly important life and death issues this nation faces you would think Democrats would have something better to do with their time. Apparently not! After all, spreading mis-information, resentments and increasing racial tensions seems to be what so many of them do best.
Democrats contest Ohio's votes - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics - January 07, 2005: "Congress counted the votes in the Electoral College yesterday and certified President Bush as the winner, but only after a bitter Democratic attempt to challenge Ohio's 20 votes.
Republicans ridiculed the attempt, which Sen. John Kerry, the Democratic nominee, did not join. He was traveling in Iraq.
The Senate rejected the challenge by a vote of 74-1, and the House rejected it 267-31. All 31 members who voted for the challenge in the House were Democrats. A substantial number were members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Barbara Boxer of California, a Democrat, was the only senator who voted for the challenge, which she had sponsored. At least one senator was required to sponsor the measure to enable debate on the House challenge and to require a vote. "
