Reply #28: meaning no surprises [View All]

please see my posting above that explains the purpose of the recount. if you have any further questions about what we are doing here in nh, please check our website (www.democracyfornewhampshire.com).

it's important to stay focused. we do not suspect nefarious activities and chicanery here in new hampshire. in fact, we have an excellent documented record of the overall integrity of our voting system.

we initiated the recount request because in new hampshire you can obtain verifiable data through hand counted paper ballots. we see this as a control group, if you will, in that we have a controlled situation in which we can obtain baseline data. Compare that to Florida and Ohio, for instance.

if we want to change things around the country, we need to have something to work towards. the systems in florida and ohio are outrageous. they shouldn't be legal. new hampshire provides a viable alternative.

if we find defects in the election here, so be it. if we don't, that tells us something too. this is our contribution to a rational and systematic study of how our democracy is working (or not) around the nation.
