Kucinich wants New Hampshire recount
The Hill ^ | 1/10/08 | Klaus Marre

Posted on 01/10/2008 6:02:36 PM PST by LdSentinal

Citing unspecified “serious and credible reports, allegations, and rumors” regarding the presidential primary in New Hampshire, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) is asking for a recount of the vote.

Kucinich, who placed at the back of the Democratic field with less than 1.4 percent of the votes, said in a letter to New Hampshire Secretary of State William Gardner that there were “possible vote-count irregularities” that have been “fueled by the stunning disparities between various ‘independent’ pre-election polls and the actual election results.”

The lawmaker said he does not expect his own vote count to be significantly affected by such a recount but he added that it is “imperative that these questions be addressed in the interest of public confidence in the integrity of the election process and the election machinery.”

In his request for a recount, Kucinich alleges that there have been “unexplained disparities between hand-counted ballots and machine-counted ballots.”

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) won the Democratic primary in a stunning upset of Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.), who had surged to the top of the polls following his win in the Iowa caucuses.

In Iowa, Kucinich had urged his supporters to back Obama.

“This is not about my candidacy or any other individual candidacy,” Kucinich said. “It is about the integrity of the election process”

Is “dem” on “dem” voter fraud legal?

Those extra Dem ballots were delivered to the NH polling places by the same UFO that Kucinich saw. Elvis and Bigfoot were piloting.

This fellow is not as nuts as the people who actually voted for him are.

It's a lot like "girl-on-girl" action. You know it's not really kosher, but it's fascinating and even exciting to watch.

We should just eliminate voting altogether, because MSM reporters and their paid pollsters know what the people really want.

There can’t be any vote fraud here, both winners were Dems. There is only fraud when the Republican wins and the MSM/Dem party says it should have been the Democrat.

“imperative that these questions be addressed in the interest of public confidence in the integrity of the election process and the election machinery.”

and these people are speaking about the lack of public confidence in the NH voting process where?
Or is it just in your mind that you speak for “the public?”

Dennis the Menace is a very honest, straightforward guy.

When the loonies were chanting “impeach Cheney”, Dennis said, here it is, and destroyed the propaganda chant.

Now the loonies are chanting “voter fraud”, and who actually DOES something about it? Dennis- of course a recount won’t show anything other than election drama scripted by the Drama Queen, but it will shut them up.

He’s so honest that if he thinks he sees a UFO, he says so. Can’t think of any other politician who’d dare say so if a saucer landed in their yard.

Of course, I think his politics are totally loopy, but he does say what’s on his mind!
