What's this? It was buried in the middle of the article on the Ohio recounts:

In Ohio, the reality of the recount is beginning to sink in, and local governments aren’t happy about it. The Associated Press ran a story Monday afternoon in which its reporter quoted the incoming president of the Ohio Association of Election Officials, Keith Cunningham. “The inference is that Ohio election officials will not count every vote,” said the man who is currently head of the Board of Elections in Allen County (that’s the Lima area, northwest of Columbus). “That’s just insulting; it’s frivolous and simply harassment.”

Advised of the recount push by the Green and Libertarian Parties, and their plan to sue to force a second tally even before Secretary of State Blackwell is scheduled to certify the first count, Cunningham said his statewide group might sue back to prevent a recount. “I need to see if this is merely my opinion or reflects the opinion of the association.”

Sounds like an idle threat out of frustration... but I wouldn't rule it out. Still, I'd be surprised if there is any basis for a countersuit.

One side sues, the other side counter-sues. Not unusual.

They are just trying to make it the Dems are going to waste all of your

tax dollars on recounting a great election. Everyone's happy and lets go home

That way the Rupkers will say, see they wasted all your money and nothing changed.

Part of the next spin cycle. Maybe we will wash them out before the spin
