2004 Presidential vote recount was rigged in Ohio county

The vote rigging case in the 2004 election in Ohio is finally going to trial, according to an article in an Ohio newspaper.
"The evidence will show that this recount was rigged, maybe not for political reasons, but rigged nonetheless," Prosecutor Kevin Baxter said. "They did this so they could spend a day rather than weeks or months" on the recount, he said.
It's unlikely that a real recount would have changed the outcome in the overall presidential election, but how many other cases of this simply haven't been caught?

We could also make such fraud much less likely to work (and thus less likely to occur) by eliminating the electoral college. Contact your state politicians today! Getting a big state like California would be a big win! It passed both houses before being vetoed by Arnold. Let's override!
