Nations misleading Headline hides irregularities in NH Count

[truehawk]

The last paragraph of the Natiton artical reads

Nonetheless, when the counters return after Thanksgiving, they'll still have some technical problems to resolve. The hand count of a third precinct showed roughly 100 fewer presidential votes than the optical-scan machines had, and will likely have to be recounted yet again. And in a fourth one, a local Republican candidate being recounted was awarded 105 more votes than he had before. Was the problem Diebold or somebody in the counting room? The answer will soon be clear.

This has been posted here before under the "frame"

"Initial NH Count changes little. "

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=80780&mesg_id=80780


So half the precincts don't add up but its framed as
"nothing to see here folks, Move along".

1. Pertinent comments can be found...

...here, as well:

"Halt, Audit & Prove My Vote Counts, Now"

2. I saw that too, and was curious...

It was buried towards the end of the article, but appears to be very revealing that something is fishy. Hopefully we will have another Ida Briggs update soon with further details?

3. The latest email from the Nader/Camejo campaign

I think this is probably okay to post--anybody can receive these emails by signing up at votenader.com:

"Hello, this is Michael Richardson with the Nader campaign.

"I'm here in Concord, New Hampshire at the Legislative Office Building, right outside the State Capital. We're in the middle of the official recount of the Presidential Election. We have about ten Nader volunteers scattered among the Bush and Kerry representatives and several dozen election officials gathered around. Ballot boxes are being opened, ballots are being counted, and preliminary results look like the New Hampshire results are fairly accurate, which is good for the system.

"The recount goes on as well as Ralph Nader's crusade for the American public."

4. I think the fraud would be focused on the swing states

rather than in a state that was supposed to go red
