The comment in bold could be an innocuous observation, but it sounds like Blackwell's office isn't as sure as we are that there will be a recount.
That they will try to stop it is a given, so every
i must be dotted....but what else could they pull to stop the recount?
One of Cobb's rivals for the vote, the Libertarian candidate Badnarik, is also seeking the recount. Cobb said he and Badnarik are demanding that Blackwell, the Ohio secretary of state who co-chaired the Bush campaign in Ohio this year, "recuse himself from the recount process."
James Lee, Blackwell's spokesman, Monday dismissed the idea that a recount of Ohio's presidential voting was a certainty, as claimed by Cobb.
A recount is impossible until the results are certified, which Lee estimated would happen around Dec. 6. And separate recount requests must be filed with each county in Ohio, Lee added.
Lee acknowledged that "with any election there are going to be individuals who are disappointed with the outcome.
