COLUMBUS - Lawyers who have been documenting voting day problems in
Ohio say they'll challenge the results of the presidential election as
soon as the vote is official.

The lawyers say documented cases of long lines, a shortage of machines
and a pattern of problems in predominantly black neighborhoods are
enough evidence to bring such a challenge.

"The objective is to get to the truth," said Cliff Arnebeck, a lawyer
who said he'll represent voters who cast ballots Nov. 2. Arnebeck said
the effort is bipartisan.

"What's critically important, whether it's President Bush or Sen.
Kerry, whoever's been actually elected, is to know you won by an
honest election," he said. "So it's in the interest of both sides as
American citizens to know the truth and to have this answered."
