D-Day the Sixth of January

Representative John Conyers has formally announced that he will object to the counting of Ohio's electors:

As you know," writes Rep. John Conyers in his public letter, "on January 6, 2005, at 1:00 P.M, the electoral votes for the election of the president are to be opened and counted in a joint session of Congress. I and a number of House Members are planning to object to the counting of the Ohio votes, due to numerous unexplained irregularities in the Ohio presidential vote, many of which appear to violate both federal and state law."

In an interview quoted in the following report, which summarizes many of the problems with the 2004 vote, Conyers says he is "confident" that Senators will join in the objection. Stay tuned.
