2. The link has no bearing on the question
it was posted earlier today informing us the recounts had begun which for those of who have been following this part already knew. And no one has given any update either way as to how the counting there is going yet.


So Does anyone have any NEW information about the pgrogress of the recount in newhampshire.

4. New Hampshire recount moving slowly

Nader-requested recount moving slowly

By Erik Stetson, Associated Press Writer | November 18, 2004

CONCORD, N.H. --A recount Ralph Nader requested for some New Hampshire towns went slower than expected Thursday and won't resume until next week, state election officials said.

Assistant Attorney General Bud Fitch said recounts in Nader's targeted precincts would not resume until at least Wednesday, virtually ensuring they won't end until after Thanksgiving.

Election officials hoped to finish recounts in five of Nader's 11 precincts Thursday, Gardner said. Ballot counters only finished two by 4 p.m., and had only partial returns in two others by nearly 8 p.m., when work ended for the night.

The completed areas, Litchfield and Manchester's Ward 7, showed little change from the official tallies.

Briggs said Gore lost Litchfield by eight percentage points, but Kerry lost by 15. Gore won the Manchester ward by eight points, but the candidates were even this year, she added.

5. So far, N.H. recount reveals no surprises
November 19, 2004

CONCORD, N.H. -- There is no chance to affect the outcome of the election, but a piecemeal recount of presidential votes began yesterday in New Hampshire...

Preliminary results from the tally, however, showed virtually no change in the result. The counting is tentatively scheduled to resume next week.

Nader spokesman Kevin Zeese, who observed the recount, said there ''was no significant difference" in the results from one ward in Manchester and the nearby town of Litchfield. Democrat John F. Kerry, who carried the state by 9,274 votes out of 678,000 cast, gained six votes, President George W. Bush picked up three, and there was no change for Nader, Zeese said. Nader received less than 1 percent of the vote in the state. A recount of other Manchester wards was continuing into the early evening.

Zeese said the campaign will evaluate the results before determining how long to continue the recount.

6. I think these are the Diebold precincts, right? I know Litchfield is. I
didn't expect them to find anything in those precincts, but the optical scanner precincts they might.

8. Re: Diebold precincts, right?
Interesting point. I don't know and can't seem to find much on it. VerifiedVoting.org shows Litchfield and Manchester E-Voting equipment as "unknown". http://verifiedvoting.org/verifier/map.php?state=new%20hampshire&county=Hillsborough&topic_string=5estd

Does anyone have a link?

13. Thanks fot the warm welcome
I'm a disgruntled Republican. They lost my vote when they became the Lying Neocon Faith Based War Party. It was quite a relief to find DU.

15. You and Me Both RedOnce
I woke up to the lies on the Right while serving in the Army. After being disillusioned from actually researching the facts. Secondly, finding alternative news sources, I realized the amount of shit I'd accepted as the truth. Needless to say, George and I -- for he is not my president -- have a lot in common, we're both born-again.

9. The Repugs have had too much time to cover their tracks
And we know they don't mind commiting fraud, just look at what they tried to do in Volusia county. I think that all the recounts will give up the same results as those declared, otherwise I think they would have found some way to delay or stop them.

10. Definitely too much time
Let's hope Ralph and crew are looking for evidence of it, like misdated and unsigned poll tapes.
