CINCINNATI - Two third-party presidential candidates filed a federal lawsuit Monday to force a recount of Ohio ballots, and a spokesman for the state Democratic Party said it intends to join the suit.

The lawsuit was filed Monday evening in U.S. District Court in Toledo, according to Blair Bobier, a spokesman for Green Party candidate David Cobb, who brought the suit along with Libertarian Michael Badnarik
...
The third-party candidates have said they are not interested in overturning President Bush (news - web sites)'s victory in the state. But they say they are concerned about reports of voting irregularities and believe a recount is necessary to ensure accuracy.
