The Last(?) Word on the Ohio Recount of Presidential Votes
Guest: Statistician Richard Hayes Phillips, Ph.D., whose expert documentation and analysis of the Ohio presidential election returns was the basis for the lawsuit challenging the results, a lawsuit that the courts of Ohio have, to this day, never examined on the merits...

Mark’s comment: "Before anyone ’moves on’ to contemplate the next four years, we still need a definitive understanding of what happened in Ohio."

"I have spoken with Professor Phillips and I think he will surprise every single person who listens with an open mind, from fierce Bush partisans certain Bush won to fierce Kerry partisans certain that Kerry won. I believe Dr. Phillips’ knowledge and grasp of the facts and details of the 2004 presidential election in Ohio is unmatched by anyone, anywhere. You are guaranteed to learn something on today’s broadcast."

Note that "today’s broadcast" is really tomorrow.

Richard tells me that Mark Levine, the attorney who will be interviewing him, is best known for his legal analysis of the U.S. Supreme Court decision awarding Bush the 2000 election. He asks very educated questions.

Please keep this kicked until airtime!

A NEW legal challenge in Ohio!!!

From the Glibs’ recount listserv...

Dear friends,

The shameful conduct of our Ohio Senators on January 6, and partisan stonewalling by Ohio’s Secretary of State, Ken Blackwell, left us all tired and battered. Any hopes we had for the Contest of Election suit have dissipated. Although the results were expected, in the midst of the skirmishes, there is a new beacon of hope.

Triumphal tears flowed in Lafayette Park when one brave Senator, Barbara Boxer, stepped forward. Sheer joy and exhilaration enveloped the Winter Freedom bus riders lobbying their representatives in Washington. The tireless organizing work in Ohio and across the nation called attention to the injustices of the 2004 election. The Congressional Black Caucus and their allies would not stand down in the face of mounting evidence of electoral fraud. This led to a rekindling of hope and a resurgence of commitment to electoral justice.

We are at a critical juncture. It is not a lull or a moment of defeat, but a turning point upon which Democracy itself depends. Now is the time to step forward, hit the streets, and loudly sing songs of freedom. The waters of justice, though now but a trickle, are far from still. Together we must make it rain, make it rain for the people of Ohio and all Americans. In the next few weeks we will regroup in
preparation for the next phase of the struggle. A team of very capable and experienced attorneys from California and other states will arrive to lead a new legal effort with other attorneys from Ohio as well as the original election contest team. The work ahead will be demanding and complex. Volunteers are needed at every level to help with organizing, investigating, educating and mobilizing. Over the next several months we hope to have enough solid evidence to pursue criminal prosecutions and prove widespread electoral fraud.

On January 30 there will be a meeting at (time and location in Columbus to be announcd) to meet the new attorneys and launch a consolidated campaign. They will present a range of possible legal options and offer recommendations as to how to proceed. We are depending on your input. This will be a time to share your ideas and help determine our course. We will establish working committees which will handle various ongoing tasks. The new legal team will issue regular updates and maintain a website for announcements. This will be a true community effort where everyone’s contribution is valued. Please attend. If you can’t be present, call (614) 946 -3834 (this number can be used temporarily until we establish a voice message line) to be added to our contact list. Someone will get back to you promptly. We look forward to working together and continuing this groundswell for electoral reform.

Regards,
Evan Davis
