NEW HAMPSHIRE RECOUNT ONLY JUST THING TO DO ~ OPTICAL SCANNED VOTES OPPOSITE OF HAND-COUNTED VOTES FOR CLINTON & OBAMA

Fair and Just Elections ~ A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT

The "LIVE FREE OR DIE" state of New Hampshire needs to live out the full meaning of their motto on their automobiles' license plates.

Wow! I so love the internet. And Dennis Kucinich has got the courage and the position to take this issue up. No one could claim that he wants a recount of the New Hampshire Primary vote because he thinks he was cheated out of a win. He merely wants a fair and just election process. And so do I. Don't you? We all should.

We do note, however, the following rather remarkably anomalous result which was reported late this afternoon by analysts from the Election Defense Alliance (EDA). As noted by one of the researchers, IT Consultant Bruce O'Dell:

Analysts at the Election Defense Alliance (EDA) have confirmed that based on the official results on the New Hampshire Secretary of state web site, there is a remarkable relationship between Obama and Clinton votes, when you look at votes tabulated by op-scan v. votes tabulated by hand:

Clinton Optical scan 91,717 52.95%
Obama Optical scan 81,495 47.05%

Clinton Hand-counted 20,889 47.05%
Obama Hand-counted 23,509 52.95%

The percentages appear to be swapped. That seems highly unusual, to say the least.

From a Kucinich for President press release just out...

Kucinich asks for New Hampshire recount in the interest of election integrity

DETROIT, MI – 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 Tuesday’s election because of “unexplained disparities between hand-counted ballots and machine-counted ballots.”
...
He added, “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 isn’t about who won 39% of 36% or even 1%. It’s about establishing whether 100% of the voters had 100% of their votes counted exactly the way they cast them.”

Kucinich, who drew about 1.4% of the New Hampshire Democratic primary vote, wrote, “This is not about my candidacy or any other individual candidacy. It is about the integrity of the election process.” No other Democratic candidate, he noted, has stepped forward to question or pursue the claims being made.

“New Hampshire is in the unique position to address – and, if so determined, rectify – these issues before they escalate into a massive, nationwide suspicion of the process by which Americans elect their President. Based on the controversies surrounding the Presidential elections in 2004 and 2000, New Hampshire is in a prime position to investigate possible irregularities and to issue findings for the benefit of the entire nation,” Kucinich wrote in his letter.

“Without an official recount, the voters of New Hampshire and the rest of the nation will never know whether there are flaws in our electoral system that need to be identified and addressed at this relatively early point in the Presidential nominating process,” said Kucinich

I just sent the following email to the New Hampshire Secretary of State:

Re: Primary votes need to be recounted and with the utmost of protection of justice

Dear Mr. Gardner,

It has come to my attention that there is a huge discrepancy between the New Hampshire's Primary hand-counted votes and the optical scanned votes. How can you encourage constituents to vote and not be able to explain this? It is highly unjust to ask candidates to pay for the recount of the state's weak voting verified results. We the People deserve better in this country.

Here is an excerpt of what I read about this situation:

Reported by analysts from the Election Defense Alliance (EDA). As noted by one of the researchers, IT Consultant Bruce O'Dell: Analysts at the Election Defense Alliance (EDA) have confirmed that based on the official results on the New Hampshire Secretary of state web site, there is a remarkable relationship between Obama and Clinton votes, when you look at votes tabulated by op-scan v. votes tabulated by hand:

Obama Hand-counted 23,509 52.95%

Thank you for your consideration in this highly important matter of justice and constitutional rights to have our liberties protected by the fair state of New Hampshire.
