ACORN Backed Group Gets Judge To Back Counting Of Bad Votes In Ohio Weasel Zippers William Amos August 27, 2012 10:18 pm from joseffy From Washington Post; A federal judge ruled Monday that Ohio must count improperly cast ballots this fall if the mistake is caused by an election worker rather than the voter, a small but potentially significant issue in an important presidential battleground state. The decision could mean that thousands of votes that otherwise would have been rejected — most of them cast in urban areas where Democrats are concentrated — will have to be counted. Recent experience proves that our elections are decided, all too often, by improbably slim margins — not just in local races .?.?. but even for the highest national offices,” U.S. District Judge Algenon L. Marbley wrote. “Any potential threat to the integrity of the franchise, no matter how small, must therefore be treated with the utmost seriousness.” The legal fight is probably not over. “We respectfully disagree with the judge’s ruling and will likely appeal,” said Matt McClellan, a spokesman for Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted ®.
