Baxter is investigating whether the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections broke the law in its recount of ballots from the November presidential election.<br> The probe stems from two requests written to Mason: one from minor-party presidential candidates David Cobb and Michael Badnarik, and another from entrepreneurial consultant Edward Michael Caner.<p> Dalton said Mason turned over the papers March 2.<p> The complaints allege that the board violated state law because the precincts it recounted were neither randomly selected nor was the opening of ballots properly witnessed.<p> In addition, Cobb and Badnarik allege that there were problems with the board's ballot-transfer cases, which can reveal whether the precinct used the ballots assigned to it or whether ballots from other precincts were used. rss@dailykos.com (v8) _105635 Sun, 10 Apr 2005 05:49:49 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/3/25/101930/-Jimmy-Carter-tackles-election-reform-again Let's hope he does a better job this time around. <p> Carter to Head Elections Panel<br> Bipartisan Group Will Look for Ways to Improve Voting in U.S.<p> Reuters<br> Friday, March 25, 2005; Page A11<p> Former president Jimmy Carter will lead a bipartisan commission to examine problems with the U.S. election system, American University's Center for Democracy and Election Management said yesterday.<p> Carter, a Democrat whose Carter Center has monitored more than 50 elections around the world, will co-chair the private commission with Republican James A.
