ABC News' Karen Travers Reports: New Hampshire Deputy Secretary of State Dave Scanlan told ABC News that turnout among primary voters today is "absolutely huge" -- and there are concerns about running out of ballots in towns like Portsmouth, Keene, Hudson and Pelham. "Turnout is absolutely huge and towns are starting to get concerned that they may not have enough ballots," Scanlan said. "We are working on those issues. Everything else seems to be going smoothly." Scanlan said that the Secretary of State's office is sending additional ballots to Portsmouth and Keene (traditionally Democratic strongholds), Hudson (Republican leaning with significant numbers of independents) and Pelham (large number of independents). According to Scanlan, the ballot strain seems to be on Democratic ballots, which suggests that the undeclared voters are breaking for the Democratic primary. New Hampshire Secretary of State William Gardner predicted that 90,000 undeclared voters would vote in the Democratic primary compared to 60,000 voting in the Republican primary. Deputy Secretary Scanlan said based on a formula anticipating higher turnout, they printed additional ballots, but in most cases towns will go "right down to the wire with ballots they need." The extra ballots will be insurance ballots in most places so election officials have a comfort level. Scanlan said reports from polling places show that turnout has been steady and high though the morning but typically high activity periods will be lunch and after work.

Are there no copier machines in NH?
Join the Ron Paul Revolution hmmm
Ron Paul for President - Join a Ron Paul Meetup group today! Watch for some of the dead people voting more than once.
Or, perhaps making sure Hillary does NOT win. Look at it that way.
I was hoping for low turnout as that would be better for Ron Paul since he has a far more enthusiastic following. I.e. RP supporters would vote while the rest stay home. Iowa was a high turnout also, actually.

I thought that stiffs were encouraged to vote in only TX...
Join the Ron Paul Revolution I think, although no one can openly say it (except that I will), the GOPers would not mind at all running against Obama. He starts with a deficit of at least 200 to 250 electoral votes in our "color-blind" < /sarcasm> society. Edwards is the only candidate I would fear, if I were a GOPer.

I agree. I also have doubts weather Obama will make it to the General Election...one way or the other, the clintons will try to stop him.
People are pissed at all the clowns and corruption in deecee - whether they have the gumption to vote as we will, who knows? But people want change. Who can blame'em?
Join the Ron Paul Revolution He's already been anointed by the Bilderbergs to be our next leader.
He's got to make sure he stays away from small or chartered planes.

From RP forums: "I'm working here in Ron Paul HQ in Concord and we've been getting reports that Hillary's lawyers are kicking poll workers out of various precincts across the state since this morning. They're kicking out Obama and Ron Paul poll workers, and possibly others. Poll workers are there to confirm that known supporters are attending. It's part of the GOTV process, and Hillary is using strong-arm tactics to limit our (and Obama's) ability to conduct this! Even if the poll workers are allowed back in, the damage is done because we lose track of who has entered the polls. Fergus Collins (the NH GOP chairman) is writing a letter to make sure poll captains know they have a RIGHT to be there. If some lawyer tells you to leave the poll, stand your ground! A Campaign worker here in Concord also want the media to know about this. Hopefully I'll get more details soon."
hmmm That caught my eye too. If you wanted to siphon off votes from a Republican Candidate, oh, say, Ron Paul, and wanted to make it less obvious then you could, in a State like New Hampshire that allows Independents to vote either way, shift those votes to the Democrat Candidates and say "they voted Democrat". Of course I expect fraud as they do it whenever they need to throw the election to one candidate or another. My guess would be that Hitlery will be the beneficiary of "the surge".

The smell of desperation. It won't help her though. The undecided appear to voting for Obama.
Ron Paul for President - Join a Ron Paul Meetup group today! Oh, there are other places that have a great tradition in this regard. In Chicago and Florida the dead frequently get up out of their graves and vote repeatedly. In Oregon, with vote by Mail the only means of voting, the votes are counted in secret and observers are not allowed to watch. "Trust us - we're from the government."

The polls have been favoring Obama by such a margin that, if they claimed Hillary had won, it would make the fraudulence of the count obvious.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
I believe that's the only way to win in these troubled times, by a clear overwhelming margin.

Obama won't change a thing. The sheep just believe he will.

It's over on the Demo side...the margin of Obama's victory is the only question.
Jesus. Poll watchers! grow a pair for crying out loud.
Join the Ron Paul Revolution It is for reasons like this that citizen and/or citizen groups should work with their Secy of State's office to find out exactly what are the rules and regs regarding being at the polls, observing vote counts, etc. That way, you can't be buffaloed into leaving. When in Montana, the Secy of State would send an employee out to local groups to educate them on the process.

Ron Paul for President - Join a Ron Paul Meetup group today! Believe it or not, early last summer, I said I thought it would be an Obama/Edwards ticket. I then change my mind because of the media/corp push of Hitlery, even though, I never met, talked or ran into anyone that said they would support her in anyway. On the Repuke front, I thought Gouliani or Thompson would be the choice, man I was way off so far on these picks.

Here's the thread .

Amazing that, when they're losing their own primary, Hillary's lawyers would spend any time trying to expel workers for Ron Paul in the other party's primary. I guess their primary loyalty is to something other than the candidate they are ostensibly working for.

Thanks!

You're welcome...
I cannot open the link, but based on the title, I hope Dr. Paul sues.

Republicans (Democrats for that matter) ....... HAD ENOUGH?
On the Repuke front, I thought Gouliani or Thompson would be the choice, man I was way off so far on these picks. You have to think of it as a PsyOp - the controllers/Rothschilds-Rockefellers know that there are a lot of us becoming wise to the game so they are playing misdirection to try and keep us confused and guessing. They have Psychiatrists running the program who use the manipulative techniques developed over the last 80 to 90 years - Google/Search on "Bernays" and you'll get a good introduction. Deciphering the manipulation now requires taking that into account. So, there are going to be feints and fakes to keep us wondering and to create the illusion that the outcome was not predetermined. I think now that Hucksterbee may be the annointed for the R's and I am still not certain that Hitlery has been ruled out, but Obama comes from the kind of broken background that makes him susceptible to Pscychiatric manipulation. So, I think either Hitlery or Obama is acceptable to the elites, but Hitlery has such high negatives that they have to steal a lot of votes to make her Queen.

I agree with ya. The Hag has so much baggage. Obama isn't going to change a thing. The Huckster has some heavy CFR backing, I think Haas is involved with him. The bottom line is, the fraud continues.

Try standing a little closer to your occam's razor tomorrow morning.

That guy went to a lot of effort to smear Ron Paul....I only skimmed the hit piece.
He was really reaching from what I could tell. I just scanned it, there were no quotes or hard proof as the title on Drudge suggests.
Ron Paul for President - Join a Ron Paul Meetup group today! I agree. Unarguably. In times of peril, who would Americans turn their yearning eyes to but a poor-mouthing multi-millionaire tort lawyer? (/sarc)
Republicans (Democrats for that matter) ....... HAD ENOUGH?
Man you nailed that. Obama upstairs is about as mature as a 16 year old. Think they know everything; know nothing. Have no unshakable character/moral set. Still trying to "find themselves." Excellent acting skills, but nothing to back it up. Easily manipulated. NOT someone you want with a finger on the football. Personally, I'd rather Bill Klinton be in the WH than Obama. Hell, I'd rather see Bill Klinton in the WH than the likes of a lunatic like Huckabee! [Notice I said Bill, not Hill] The only palatable candidate will not win. IT has been decided. We do not have a say in the matter. Even if one doesn't believe in conspiracies, the amercun sheople are too damned stupid to do the right thing anyway. We've been here before: Goldwater, Buchanan, Perot...and it goes on.

According to Scanlan, the ballot strain seems to be on Democratic ballots, which suggests that the undeclared voters are breaking for the Democratic primary.
