With all due respect, this is from the NH statute regarding requesting a recount:
660:1 Application. – Any candidate for whom a vote was cast for any office at a state general election may apply for a recount. The application shall be made in writing to the secretary of state and shall be submitted no later than the Friday following the election. Each candidate requesting a recount shall pay the secretary of state fees as provided in RSA 660:2.
If I am understanding correctly, not only does the recount have to be requested by someone who got a vote, but it has to be requested by the Friday following.. in other words, by tomorrow. The ChipIn runs through Jan 18??
In addition, according to the fee schedule, it looks like the most it would cost a candidate is $2000. The total raised in the Chip In is now over $5K..
