CONCORD, N.H. — A recount Ralph Nader requested for some New Hampshire
towns went slower than expected Thursday and won't resume until next
week, state election officials said.

"It's impossible," said Secretary of State Bill Gardner, declining to
predict when the recount would end.

Assistant Attorney General Bud Fitch said recounts in Nader's targeted
precincts would not resume until at least Wednesday, virtually
ensuring they won't end until after Thanksgiving.

Nader, an independent presidential candidate this year, paid $2,000 to
begin a recount of 11 of the state's 126 precincts after an analysis
showed wide differences in voting trends between the 2000 and 2004
presidential elections.

1. Why does Nader want a recount in NH?

[Brundle_Fly]

2. he wants to

check the validity of the evoting machines, that all across America gave shrub an extra 5%+ where as the older more tried and true methods did not.

it will hopefully show an error of mis programming or god forbid FRAUD.

I am surprised he got the chance for the recount actually. but god bless him for trying.
