Nader-Camejo Hand Recount in New Hampshire Ends With No Significant Discrepancies New Hampshire�s optical scan machines predate Diebold�s purchase of company that manufactured them

Washington, DC: The Nader-Camejo hand recount in New Hampshire ended Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. when the last of the 11 selected wards was counted. Nader-Camejo requested recounts on Nov. 5 in precincts where the Diebold AccuVote optical scan machine was used, and where the reported vote count favored President George W. Bush by 5% to 15% over what was expected based on exit polls and voting trends in New Hampshire. The Nader-Camejo campaign received more than 2,000 faxes from citizens urging a recount.

1. Not true --- read this . . .
Thank you for this info . . . !!!! So Nader didn't actually get a recount --- !!!

"We have no control over the ballot chain of custody and we have learned the pain from the 2004 Nader recount, in which only 11 districts were counted, chosen by a highly questionable person, and then nothing showed up," she wrote recently. "Now all we hear is how the Nader recount validated the machines. A candidate asking for a recount may well be a tool used to 'prove" everything was okay and then that candidate will be further discredited," she warned.

And we just had a scandal recently where two women were "organizing" the votes that they
were selecting to be counted --- in order to forestall a full recount!!!

Where was that---?

2. Ohio, this is why Kucinich needs
to do a FULL Hand Count of ALL the Ballots.

3. Right . . . but you have to protect the chain of evidence . . . and
usually there's a "test" of certain areas and IF that shows descrepancies then they will proceed with full count ---

HOWEVER, what's happening is they select certain votes from certain areas to make it look
like there are no problems and then you only get what Nader got --- !!!

Imagine we have the Sarasota/2006 situation with 18,000 missing votes from cast ballots!!!!

Still not sufficiently investigated --- !!!

4. Thank you for posting this. Everyone needs a reminder of what we face, the most likely
outcome, and what we risk (like being positioned to effectively contest suspect general election results!).
