EUREKA -- Former Green presidential candidate and Eureka resident David Cobb wants a recount of votes cast in Ohio during last week's presidential election.

In a press release issued Wednesday, Cobb indicated that he and Michael Badnarik, this year's Libertarian presidential candidate intend to file a formal demand for a recount of the presidential ballots cast in Ohio.

The candidates also demanded that Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, a Republican who chaired the Ohio Bush campaign, recuse himself from the recount process.

1. It's Great That Badnarik is On Board

That makes it much more bipartisan. Ordinary independents and Republicans are much more likely to give the effort credibility. And quite frankly, I would rather have a scrappy third-party oversee the recount than members of the Democratic elite trying to make nice and concerned about their reputations.

I gave $50 to the effort yesterday.
