PROSECUTOR TO PROBE CUYAHOGA COUNTY RECOUNT

2 WRITTEN COMPLAINTS ALLEGE PROBLEMS IN '04 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Author: Stephen Dyer, Beacon Journal staff writer

Erie County Prosecutor Kevin J. Baxter is investigating whether the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections broke the law in its recount of ballots from the November presidential election.

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor William Mason appointed Baxter as a special prosecutor in the case because the board of elections is Mason's client, which could pose a conflict of interest, said Mason spokeswoman Jamie Dalton.

Baxter said he didn't know yet whether the allegations have any validity. He said his investigators will begin interviewing people in the next several weeks.

"If it goes nowhere, it goes nowhere," Baxter said. "We'll just start from the beginning . . . This is rather preliminary."

1. Good to hear.

If they get a real, fair handcount, I'm willing to bet there will be massive discrepancies.

2. Somebody I talked to election night said...

After 2 1/2 hours of voting in one district the vote total had gone down 4,000. This is with people voting nonstop and 15 hour lines?:wtf:
