Ohio "recount": what it is and isn't. Do people here and public understa

As the Ohio "recount" winds down, whats next??
I assume that people on this list understand that the Ohio "recount" was never a serious attempt to count or recount the votes of eligible voters in Ohio; since it was controled by the Ohio Sec. of state who didn't want to count the votes. I'm not sure why the Greens and others have gone along with the process and paid for it since the process isn't what was requested, unless it was just with the understanding that while they aren't trying to count all votes accurately, the results might be useful in the fraud investigation process- which is the real deal in Ohio.

In the Ohio "recount" they aren't even trying to count the known at least 93,000 undervotes(hanging chad) that are mostly Kerry votes; much less looking at the issues of voters disinfranchised by systematic voter suppression, or deliberately biased provisional ballot process developed to reduce minority votes. They also aren't looking at the already well documented patterns of vote machine fraud and other fraud that has been documented. So I hope everyone is aware of this, and the results of the recount are just looked at as a means to get further info in the fraud investigation- which is occurring to some degree I think. But I don't understand why those directly and indirectly involved in the "recount" process haven't made it clear to the public what is and what is not going on.
And I hope people interested in the outcome of the election have plans for what comes next. Else the recount exercise was just a fradulent exercise.

I think fraud is now well documented. The question now is what is going to be done about it?? The "recount" process clearly "is not" going to deal with it.
