This is a factual report of the result of the trial. It has little of the perspective needed to put the report into perspective. This is an issue of the faith of the US (and Ohio) citizen trust in the election process.
Facts are mostly correct. Mentions "some Internet bloggers" without specifics. Repeats the obviously unsupportable claim that the election workers' actions did not affect the outcome of the 2004 election. Since 97% of the ballots were not recounted there is no way to know if the election would have been reversed.
Most biased story I've read yet on NewsTrust. Goes out of its way to pity poll workers who broke the law by rigging a recount. Appalling.
