At least 56 counties decided that they did not need to follow the court order and destroyed a portion of the ballots they had. Seven counties assert they have destroyed all ballots. The complaint also asks the judge to impanel a special grand jury to investigate the destruction of the ballots&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Featured Article: OH: Ohio Election Officials May Face Criminal Charges: Ohio Election Justice Campaign Files in Federal Court<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prweb.com\/releases\/2008\/07\/prweb1092204.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.prweb.com\/releases\/2008\/07\/prweb1092204.htm<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Sneak Preview of &#8220;Count My Vote &#8211;
