On September 1, a U.S. District Court in Ohio said a trial will be held in August 2006 in the Cobb-Badnarik recount lawsuit. The case, Rios v Blackwell, 3:04-cv-7724, northern district, was filed last year. It charges that even though the candidates who asked for the recount paid for it, many counties did not handle the recount according to law. The lawsuit charges that some counties did not really choose precincts to recount randomly.
