Who thinks the Ohio Supreme Court judge
will do anything about Conyer/Green/Dem. case in front of him? I get the feeling it will be allowed to languish until everyone forgets about it.

1. He sure won't
doing anything unless the recount swings the Ohio election to Kerry. Judges aren't in the habit of turning elections away from the candidate who is leading the vote total. Statistical anomalies aren't going to interest the court. We've got to win the recount or it's lights out.

Sure the Ohio election could be challenged in Congress, but even there it's the same thing. They are NOT going to refuse to accept electors for the candidate that has the most votes.

into this arena. Even in prior elections where there has been blatant and irrefutable evidence of vote stealing ,voter suppresion, and worse they have refrained from overturning results

3. Unless it can be proven that
Bush recieved a certain number of votes which he should not have (and that number is going to have to be well over 100,000) no judge is going to overturn it.

4. He needs proof, first
I think we've got it. It's a matter of compiling it into an understandable form.
