It is illegal to secretly pre-count recount ballots. The BOE can"t do a pre-count of ballots for whatever reason, secretly, after the certified vote goes to the state and after there has been a mandate for a statewide recount.

What happened in Coshocton County before the 2004 recount also appears to be a clear violation of Ohio law and could be damning for the Coshocton County BOE.

Mike Rivero at WRH put it like this:

These people were convicted of rigging the recount, which means that the original election being recounted was rigged.
If Coshocton also rigged the recount, then Ohio tips to Kerry and Bush is not the legal President.
