Kerry Preparing Grounds to Unconcede (?)
Is this true ?

Kerry Preparing Grounds to Unconcede
Election Challenge likely on Jan 6th
On 23 December, 2004 Kerry's lawyer confirmed to MSNBC's 'Countdown' that
John Kerry will be seeking (likely on Monday 27 Dec.) to expedite court
proceedings and secure evidence in an ongoing recount suit by the Green and
Libertarian parties. That might sound like just another "count every vote"
exercise by the Kerry campaign, were it not for two important details.
Kerry's court filing will conjoin him to existing allegations that Triad
Systems, a Republican-linked supplier of voting machines to around half of
Ohio counties --"orchestrated" a covert campaign to thwart a legitimate
recount in Ohio. If the allegation proves well founded, it could invalidate
the Ohio recount and eventually even hand the presidency to John Kerry.
Which probably explains the second critical detail: a quiet, on the record
bombshell statement to 'Countdown' by Daniel Hoffheimer, the Cincinnati
lawyer representing the Kerry campaign in Ohio.
(...)
If the recount was fraudulent, does that have implications for the validity
of the first count in Ohio? The Kerry campaign knows full well that it does.
That's why their latest statement questions the "integrity" of the "entire"
electoral process. And the election of Bush/Cheney.
