This ought to make things even more interesting and insane.  According to a nutjob Cobb press release, the Kerry/Edwards campaign has filed papers in support of Cobb's request for a recount in Delaware County in Ohio.  I don't have any idea what this means or why they are doing it.  Regardless, the safe harbor rule is effective on December 6 this year.
The Cobb campaign is apparently planning on asking for a statewide recount (they can't until the vote is final - and they have also filed in federal court).  The Delaware County election offiicials have filed to be excluded, claiming that it is a waste of money (while the party demanding the recount has to pay for the recount, the charges are limited to $10 per precinct).  Supposedly the Democrats are opposed to excluding Delaware County.

If the aim is to bring some sanity to the way America votes, well, frankly, every day spent doing something else is a waste of time.
If Ohio goes through a recount, it will eventually result in curbing the insanity of a frivolous contest for a giveaway price of $10 per precinct.

Goes further than that. Different parts of the voting area (in this case, the state) using different ballots is a big enough problem in itself. And it applies almost all over America. So, of course, is not having a national register of voters. Just get that done and all that counterfrauding "challenging" bullsh*t is devoid of any justification.
