Kucinich Requests That Recount Start With Manchester Ballots CONCORD, N.H. -- Secretary of State William Gardner said Tuesday that his office is set to begin a recount of New Hampshire's Democratic presidential primary.
Democrat Dennis Kucinich has paid $27,000 to Gardner's office to start the recount. Kucinich, who received less than 2 percent of the vote, said he is suspicious of the results, although he doesn't expect a recount to change his vote count much.
Kucinich has asked that the recount start with Manchester ballots and spread out from there to other Hillsborough County precincts. He can stop the recount and get a refund for the balance of the costs. To recount the entire state would cost him about $70,000.
Republican Albert Howard of Michigan also has asked for a recount but has not paid for it yet.
Gardner said he will get started with the Democratic recount, and if Howard comes up with the money later, he will consider the request then.
Gardner said he expects the recount to begin Wednesday at 9:30 a.m.
Poster Comment:
This is good news even though it does not include Republican ballots. If we find fraud, it will change the election and our future.
We still have to do our best to avoid being sucked into World War III when, not if, Israel bombs Iran. We will also have to avoid being pulled into the NAU after the dollar collapses.
But the recount is the best news America has had in a very, long time.
