Kucinich: Recount Redux
The Ohio congressman cited ’serious and credible reports, allegations and rumors’ about the integrity of Tuesday results. Deputy Secretary of State David Scanlan said Kucinich is entitled to a statewide recount. But, under New Hampshire law, Kucinich will have to pay for it … Kucinich alluded to online reports alleging disparities around the state between hand-counted ballots, which tended to favor Sen. Barack Obama, and machine-counted ones that tended to favor Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. He also noted the difference between pre-election polls.

The hand vs. machine counted ballots are interesting. Could it just be that the areas that used different methods of counting ballots were coincidently distributed by areas of similar candidate support? (Did that sentence make any sense? I can't tell.)

1. We'll never know without an honest recount
All the "Whoa, what happened in NH!!!" speculation of pundits, which are straight out of loony tunes ... talk about making shit up...
just makes this disparity all the more compelling to look into in my book.

2. I hope that the recount happens.
It would be nice to know one way or the other.

3. How much? I'd be willing to participate in funding the recount.
