Kerry files motion to preserve recount evidence


On Monday afternoon, Kerry-Edwards' state counsel for Ohio filed a motion in to preserve evidence related to the state's presidential recount, RAW STORY has learned. Specifically, the motion seeks to preserve all ballots and voting machines for investigation and analysis, and to make a Triad Election Systems technician available for a sworn deposition. Triad had previously been accused of tampering with voting machines in Ohio.

The motion was first reported by William Rivers Pitt at Truthout.org. Kerry-Edwards previously filed to demand an investigation to Ohio recount tampering.

Meanwhile, Ohio Republican Secretary of State and Chairman of the Bush-Cheney 2004 re-election effort in Ohio has issued an order to protect himself from being interviewed by lawyers for this and another suit, dubbing them "frivolous."
