The Washington Post offers this
report.
The court's order is here. Dan
Tokaji gives this
extensive analysis of Ohio's recount and contest procedures,
demonstrating, yet again, how close we came to another train wreck in
Election 2004. Clarifiation on headline:
The question at stake was one of timing. The requested TRO was not to
require the recount -- the Secretary of State apparently has agreed
that there will be one -- but to start it forthwith and to complete it
before December 7, i.e., to speed up the Secretary's initial count so
that the recount can begin sooner.
See this
report.
According to this story, Frye has not yet decided whether or not to
appeal, though I believe one of the earlier news stories said she would
not seek further action.
