Ohio's 2000 and 2004 Elections Still Not Over for Some

[LiberalHeart]

COLUMBUS (AP) President Bush is almost midway through his second term and Ohio Supreme Court Justice Alice Robie Resnick is nearly retired, yet the elections that got them there are still the subject of contention in Ohio courts and political circles.

The disputed 2000 presidential election that was settled by the U.S. Supreme Court bred cynicism that hasn't died. In 2004, Bush's 118,000-vote re-election victory in Ohio -- out of more than 5.5 million cast -- raised a firestorm among those who had predicted that the Republicans would try to steal the first election after hanging chads became a household phrase.

(One expert wants us to just move along; nothing to see here.)

central channel.

5. More good news

Closing arguments in trial of Mr. Safavian, former official in George W. Bush Whitehouse

“Mr. Safavian tried to serve two masters,” Edmonds said. “He was appointed by the president to serve the people of the United States, but he chose instead to serve Jack Abramoff.”
Safavian “was trying to hide a secret, inappropriate and unethical relationship with Mr. Abramoff,” Edmonds said.

Edmonds said that every public official has “moments of truth” in which he can act ethically or unethically and that Safavian failed the test by lying to the GSA’s ethics officer, the agency’s office of inspector general and a Senate committee.
