NVRI is leading the fight to defend the right to a recount. Among other things, election officials in Ohio have:

• Sued NVRI in court to prevent our efforts in ensuring that a recount is held, as mandated by Ohio law;
• Sought a court order requiring NVRI to pay attorney's fees and costs for their lawsuit to impede the recount;
• Returned the money submitted by our clients to pay for the recount; and
• Refused to start the recount at a time that will ensure completion prior to the date on which the presidential electors meet and cast their votes.

NVRI General Counsel to testify before House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, December 8 -- WATCH it on C-SPAN

NVRI will tell the story of the travails of the call for a recount in Ohio at a committee hearing in the U.S. Congress on Wednesday the 8th. Congressman John Conyers (D-Michigan) and other Democratic Committee members of the House Judiciary Committee have scheduled a hearing at 10 a.m. (Room 2237 Rayburn House Office) to review the many concerns about voting irregularities. NVRI General Counsel John Bonifaz will present testimony there on the Ohio recount -- why it's important, roadblocks that are being put up, and what happens next. The hearings will be broadcast live on C-SPAN.
