NH Recount Would Be FREE if Obama Requested it: Kucinich Has to PAY. [View All]

"New Hampshire law, RSA 660:7, provides that "any person for whom a vote was cast for any nomination of any party at a state or presidential primary may apply for a recount." RSA 660:2, IV provides that if the difference between the vote cast for the applying candidate and a candidate declared elected shall be greater than 3 percent of the total votes cast in the towns which comprise the office to be recounted, the candidate shall pay the fees provided in RSA 660:2, III and shall agree in writing with the secretary of state to pay any additional costs of the recount." RSA 660:6 provides that if the person requesting the recount is declared the winner after the recount or loses by a margin of less than one percent of the total votes cast, the fees for the recount will be refunded by the State."

Obama is within 3 points now. By my interpretation, a recount would be free if he requested it.

This shows, IMHO, that Obama is not going to fight or persue any evidence of election fraud. There are red flags all over the place and he's "moving on." If he wins the nomination we could have all kinds of discrepancies and irregularities on election day and Obama would just smile and wave at the end of his concession speech, like 4 years ago.

We need a fighter.
