Green Party presidential candidate David Cobb today expressed

his satisfaction with a ruling by a federal judge taking jurisdiction over a

Delaware County, Ohio lawsuit and denying the county's attempt to stop the

recount of presidential ballots in that county.

"We are very pleased that the judge recognized our right to a

recount and that the recount will go forward in each and every county in

Ohio," said Cobb.

The judge also provisionally granted the motion by the

Kerry-Edwards campaign to intervene in the lawsuit in defense of the

position of Cobb and Libertarian Michael Badnarik.

Although the judge did not agree with Cobb that the recount

should proceed on an expedited basis, the Cobb campaign is confident that a

full and complete recount will take place.
