Every vote should be counted and recounted until we know the true outcome of this very close ballot.

I'm particularly disturbed by reports of high numbers of challenges of minority voters, and the high proportion of minority votes having to be provisional, as well as high rates of spoilage in minority districts, probably due to those areas receiving the worst voting equipment as well as having the fewest machines per number of voters, thereby pressuring voters to vote faster. This type of behavior was thought to have died decades ago, and residents of Ohio should be as red-faced as the devil to find themselves party to the practice of of this type of racism.

Ohio should be ashamed to have to once again put American through this wringer, and it should be proud to correct the wrongs perpetrated on the American people -- by recounting its votes to assure us of a true outcome to the presidential election.
