Kucinich asks for a recount
After Hillary Clinton’s surprising win in New Hampshire there were quiet reports about voting anomalies in hand counted vs. machine counted districts. Those districts that used Diebold machines. Clinton scored 5.54% better in Diebold counted districts while Obama had lost -2.96%. This is enough of a concern for Kucinich to at least request that the results and process be analyzed to make sure that there really is nothing suspect.
Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, the most outspoken advocate in the Presidential field and in Congress for election integrity, paper-ballot elections, and campaign finance reform, has sent a letter to the New Hampshire Secretary of State asking for a recount of Tuesdays election because of unexplained disparities between hand-counted ballots and machine-counted ballots.
Ever since the 2000 election and even before the American people have been losing faith in the belief that their votes were actually counted. This recount isnt about who won 39% of 36% or even 1%. Its about establishing whether 100% of the voters had 100% of their votes counted exactly the way they cast them.
After the 2000 and 2004 elections allegations of voter fraud were not thoroughly investigated despite numerous reports.
Diebold voting machines are vulnerable to hacking as was shown by a Princeton Professor
No one is saying that there was fraud, but these differences along with the spectacular failure of the pollsters to even see the Clinton win as a possibility have to raise enough questions for concern. Pollsters, the media and such are quick to blame themselves and too shy to actually question the system. There is enough evidence of unreliability in the Diebold voting machines that Congress should move to ban these machines and revert to manual methods for the 2008 election. It would be painful and inconvenient, but we need solid and reliable results.
