Sure is.

Since the required fee for a statewide recount is $113,600

Green Party Campaign Raises $150,000

allowing us to meet our goal for the first phase of the recount effort

Bobier said the campaign is still raising money for the next phase of the recount effort

 

[Format C:]

WHHOOOOOOOOSH!!!!!!!!!

I leave it in your capable hands CKG. My shift's over.

 

[Gaard]

Explain it to me Format. Kindly do so without any name-calling.

They don't like the fact that the state of Ohio set a price for a recount and the Green Party met the price.

So they complain about the price.

It also says they're raising money for the next step of the recount. If Format knows something that we don't, I wish he'd say so.

Format, from all indications, knows nothing we don't know, and quite possibly nothing at all.

Alright - I'll make one more attempt here to get you to understand.

And how is the recount wasting taxpayer money? It's being paid for by other political parties, not tax money.

Yes, the greens raised enough money to buy a recount($10 per precinct) but then lets take a look at the reality of the situation:

Do any of you really think $10 is going to cover the expenses of each precint recount?

...Guess who pays...

Now exactly what don't you understand about this costing tax payer money? Do you really think it'll only cost $10 per precinct to do the recount? Would you believe the results if they actually only gave the precinct $10 to recount it's ballots?

I don't believe the results and they spent millions.

Look, the state of Ohio says that if a candidate whose name was on the ballot demands a recount it's $10US per precinct. They paid $10US per precinct. There will be a recount.

What do you want the Greens to do now? Leave Ohio a tip?

From Cobb's site

We have set an initial goal of $100,000 for this effort. Let's see if we can raise this by next Monday, November 22.

Oh good. So with the initial $150,000, this makes for $17 per precinct.

That certainly can cover all the costs

Look, I'm all for a recount but you're fooling yourself if you think it won't cost the taxpayers any money

This isn't about disputing the recount This is about the issue of tax-payer money being spent. Conjur, gaard, and you don't seem to believe that this will cost tax-payers money. It will.

Flamewar!

If they find fraud... there will be an uproar... let's hope there wasn't fraud.

Whether they find fraud or not, let's just say Kerry winds up with more votes. He's the next president, right?

 

[BBond]

I mean, everyone is advertising 286/252. So a twenty point switch makes it Kerry, 272 vs Bush 266.

Show me where I ever said that. All I'm saying is, the state says $10 per precinct. Paid. Start counting.

 

[her209]

Is this a recount of only the presidential race or everything on the ballot?

Total # of Ohio votes: 5,481,756
Total # of Ohio precincts: 11,360

Total # of votes per precinct (rounded up): 483

 

[Grunt03]

I find this to be so funny. As advanced as we are supposed to be, we still cannot figure out a way to run elections.....

You jumped in the middle of the discussion about tax-payer money. Next time don't try to fluff your buddies if you don't understand/know what is being discussed.

Sure- there is a recount effort. I've never denied that, nor has format. The issue here was tax-payer money. There is going to be alot of tax-payer money used in this recount. Yea for those tax-payers I guess...

Did you complain when Ken Starr was spending $64 million of taxpayer money?

Do you complain when $200 billion is being thrown down a pit in Iraq -- for no good reason whatsoever?

But to ensure a fair election, suddenly you're worried about a few thousand dollars. Heh...

 

[BBond]

And stop your nattering about how much it will cost. If Bush's pal, the CEO of Diebold, Walden O'Dell, hadn't promised to throw the election for
Bush, and if his crooked machines and software weren't in use for elections in our 'democracy' there would be no need for a recount.

The question isn't the price of a recount, the question is what is the price of votes that aren't counted or are miscounted in a democracy.

So what's going to happen if Kerry winds up with 272???
