I live in Hudson NH and voted here many times. We always go in the morning before work. Polls open at 7AM. We got there at as usual around 6:50AM and was greeted with a huge traffic jam. The line of people waiting to get in was approximately 200 yards long with people 2-4 abreast. When we left the entire town was gridlocked heading to the polling place. I was listening to a Boston radio show and they actually reported Hudson NH as a virtual gridlock.
About a week or so after the election I went to the towns website and viewed the election results. (I just checked and all of the several elections past are gone) But I compared the 08 results with the 12 and there were only 68 more ballots cast in total from 08. I simply cannot accept this as being accurate.
I also compared the primary numbers and the Republican primary drew 1565 people and the Democrat primary only drew 602. “Anecdotal”, I know.
Indeed.
I waited 3.5 hours in line in Broward County, during which time there was blatant dem electioneering going on by Overweight SEIU Holder’s people wearing Purple Shirts. Once inside the building, that activity ceased, but when I identified myself and my ballot was printed out, the attendant smirked at me and circled my party affiliation in red ink. Since the ballots are mandated to be filled out in BLACK ink, I have a feeling that the presence of red on my ballot may have invalidated it when it was scanned. Just a theory.
Weeks prior, I made daily rides around Broward and Palm Beach County counting Lawn Signs (They cost $15.00 EACH!), and even for allowing only one sign per lawn, and only those on private property, the count was consistently 85 to ONE in favor of Romney. Anyone who would pay money and risk ridicule and vandalism to put a Romney Sign on their property most certainly CAST their vote....but was it COUNTED?
Yet, Broward reported 99-1 Obama.
I can NOT accept that.
“Anecdotal”, I know.
I would think that there at least a handful of conscientious NH state legislators who, if made aware of this, would take the initiative on electoral procedure reform. You might want to explore that route.
The GOP controls the majority of the state legislatures, including most of those in the swing states. These legislators have to be prodded to do what they have to do to save the integrity of the elections!!!
