Recount Results

[OKRonPaul]

Doesn't look good for Obama.

Hillary gained or stayed the same in every precinct so far? Those who think rigging was going on would expect the exact opposite.

In any case, these results make our voting system seem like a complete joke.

more results just added, she did drop in Amherst. the also clarified these are Dem ballots only, and added this at the top

The republican candidates listed at the end of this tally (indicated by the r next to their name) are candidates who received WRITE-IN votes on democratic ballots.

[Sir Rhino]

Statewide for Republicans I hope.

Maybe not for Democrats unless somebody puts some pressure on Dennis, Sir Rhino.

So far, Dennis is doing two counties, Hillsborough and Rockingham.

I checked out the Kucinich site before coming here, and I just checked it out again.

They seem to be really POed about Dennis being excluded from the Nevada debates. Check out what they have to say on the page that is supposed to be about the NH vote count:

Help Defend the Integrity of Our Voting System

Once again, America is faced with questions about the integrity of machine-counted ballots and about the rights of Americans to decide for themselves who they should be allowed to vote for in this crucial Presidential election.

In New Hampshire, it's a question of whether votes were counted or manipulated. In Nevada, it's a question of whether the GE-owned NBC television network should have the power to decide who your choices should be for President.



The vote counts in New Hampshire are suspicious. And, today's decision by NBC to exclude Dennis from next week's Presidential debate - even though he met the criteria - is outrageous. And, we need your help to deal with both of these matters.

Because of the unexplained disparities between hand-counted and machine-counted ballots in New Hampshire, Dennis has asked for a recount. "I am not making this request in the expectation that a recount will significantly affect the number of votes that were cast on my behalf," Dennis said in his letter to the Secretary of State of New Hampshire. But, he cited “serious and credible reports, allegations and rumors" that question the integrity of the machine-controlled process.

If New Hampshire agrees to a recount, this campaign will have to pay for it. And we can't investigate what happened in New Hampshire - or protect every other state in the Union - without your help.

Likewise, NBC and MSNBC have made a corporate decision to exclude the one and only voice who represents you and those things that the Democratic Party should stand for. If you are as outraged as we are, feel free to call: NBC/MSNBC at 212 664-4444 and ask for the Comment Line ore mail NBC/MSNBC at [email protected]his e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

PLEASE share this message with everyone you know so that the voice of the people will be heard and their votes WILL be counted.

Strength through Peace,
The Kucinich Campaign

By their own admission, they view the NH Recount of equal importance with Dennis being frozen out of the debate.

*************

My $0.02 on Dennis Kucinich ...

Many on the left consider Kucinich to be an honorable man. Many also consider him to be a little 'out there', and not of presidential timber ... at least at this time.

I think Dennis supported a NH recount because he thought it was the right thing to do. I also suspect his funds have never been high, and are probably pretty low at the moment. I also suspect his supporters to not have the fervor and passion that you folks have.

I think the Democratic recount is more than a gesture but less than the populist movement that the Rupublican one is. If significant stuff is uncovered by you folks, there will be real interest on the part of Dems. If not, the interest in the Kucinich camp will disappear.

I guess this puts you folks on stage ... front and center.

edwards, obama and richardson all dropped big in ward 5. did they lose a box of ballots?

edit: i bet if they did lose a box diebold is hard at work recreating the ballots, err finding the box.

 

[Molly1]

Sir Rhino, if Dennis would put up a place on his website to donate to the recount and a counter like we use of how much he needs, I think he might be surprised at how he could raise the money for the whole state.

I wonder if he is being pressured by his party. The whole state needs to be recounted.

Could you alert some of your Dem friends to this? I also contributed to him and I would contribute more if I knew it was going to the recount.

OK help me out. How does an electronic counter count 64 more votes than there are? I could maybe understand dropping votes, but adding votes? Especially this many?

How would that happen?

I went down to Concord today to check things out. Everyone is very polite, and will answer all questions. I talked to the lady that put up the partial numbers last night, asked her about the Republican votes. She said she was sorry that she hadn't explained it. She worked 12 hours there yesterday, and was very tired when she posted last night. The Republican votes are all write ins on the Democrat ballot. You can not vote Republican on a Democrat ballot. None of these votes will count. When they start counting Republican ballots, I'm sure we'll see people writing in Democrats on their ballot. None of these will count either.

 

[Molly1]

look at edwards, obama and richardson in ward 5 too, they all dropped a large %.

wow everyone dropped in ward 5.

Is ward 5 the smoking gun?

Why was ward 5 counting more votes than there were ballots?

We have to crunch these numbers.

 

[Fight-n-Mad]

did they lose a box of ballots?

BushCo probably made a bonfire with them, as part of some kind of child sacrifice ritual.

When are they going to start the Republican recount?

 

[Lesgov]

When are they going to start the Republican recount?

When they finish the Dem ballots. They said this whole thing could take up to six weeks.

well, while they are waiting, where are the Republican ballots being held? In the same room?

so

hillary........619 after recount + 10.3% to 683 original result
edwards ....217......................+ 17.5% to 255
obama ......365......................+ 10.6% to 404
richardson.39 .......................+ 17.9% to 46

the only 'good' answer i can think of is they stopped for the day in the middle of this one. but why post it up then?

 

[hillertexas]

Add up the difference after recount from this county (total) and Clinton, Edwards, and Obama end up with -12votes exactly

Thanks for finding out about that. I was hoping somebody could explain it. Sounds like they literally "wasted their votes".

 

[Lesgov]

Molly,
The ballots are all mixed up when they come in. First they have to separate the ballots. The Republican ballots are put back in boxes and taken to a small room. These will all be stored there until the Dems are finished. I was asked to be a witness today along with another person. We watched what was being done, and where they were stored. I took pictures, and will try to get them up later.

So for those 4 candidates, the ward 5 diebold counted 148 votes that don't exist?

As Henry Lee would say, "Sumting wong..."

I'm sure they'll fix it overnight.

Are they locked in that room?

Who has the key?

Is it a deadbolt lock?
