Green Party presidential candidate David Cobb will
address recount volunteers, the public and protesters who will gather
outside the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, on Monday, December 13, the day
that presidential electors meet in all state capitals to cast their
votes. Cobb will make his address at approximately 12:15 p.m. on
the High Street sidewalk adjacent to the Capitol grounds.
The Cobb campaign is demanding recounts of the
presidential vote in Ohio and New Mexico. Several Ohio counties are
expected to begin the recount on Monday; others will begin on different
days throughout the week. New Mexico election officials are meeting on
Monday to consider Cobb's recount demand in that state.
"It is absolutely outrageous and irresponsible
for the Ohio and New Mexico presidential electors to cast their votes
when the outcome of recounts are still unknown. Just as in Florida
in 2000, we have to question the integrity of our voting system and
those partisan officials who are in charge of it. With allegations
of voter intimidation and suppression looming, an impending
Congressional investigation and the recounts just beginning, the
presidential electors will cast their votes under a cloud of
suspicion," said Cobb.
