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.
