Kerry Lawyers to Ohio on "Fact Finding" mission
well.. we'll see...
Most likely at this point, there's no reason to think they'll uncover anything that would change the election results.
However, if they find something.. there's about two months to do something about it.
And just in case they do.. it's probably good for them to stay low key right now.
Dawgy said it, I said it.. many people here said it. you'll never have me believe that Bush won the election fair and square.

Kerry campaign lawyers checking Ohio vote
The Associated Press
Lawyers with John Kerry's presidential campaign are in Ohio on what they describe as a "fact-finding mission" following the Democrat's election loss to President Bush last week.
Dan Hoffheimer, the statewide counsel for the Kerry campaign, said they are not trying to challenge the election but are only carrying out Kerry's promise to make sure that all the votes in Ohio are counted.
"We're not expecting to change the outcome of the election," Hoffheimer said.
In unofficial returns, Bush outpolled Kerry by 136,000 votes in Ohio.
Hoffheimer said the goal is to identify any voting problems and quell doubts about the legitimacy of the Ohio election being raised on the Internet.
He said the Kerry campaign has compiled a list of more than 30 questions for local election officials. They are asking about the number of absentee and provisional ballots, any reports of equipment malfunctions on election night and any ballots that still listed third-party challenger Ralph Nader as a candidate.
Nader was removed from the ballot by Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell because of evidence of fraud in the circulation of petitions.
