Daily Voting News - 21 December 2004

In Ohio, the Green Party has expressed their concern over the lack of a fair and proper recount. Meanwhile, in Ohio, a national media organization seems to be making every excuse they can for the state as they ignore facts so they can say there is no problem.

In Washington, tomorrow is the big day as the count in King County will be complete and the state Supreme Court will hear both sides as to whether votes should be counted or ignored.

In New Mexico, no news at all.
