CLEVELAND – Three elections workers in the state’s most populous county conspired to avoid a more thorough recount of ballots in the 2004 presidential election, a prosecutor told jurors during opening statements Thursday.
“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.
