The entire vote accuracy/fraud issue depends on the NH recount [View All]

[Jersey Devil]

I am assuming that Nader paid the $2,000 and read yesterday they were sending the check though I don't know if that actually happened. Assuming it did and assuming a recount is done in NH, I believe that the entire controversy depends on the results of that recount (examination). Since NH is a small state with relatively few voters and used all optical scan machines a recount should be fast and easy to do.

It is really very simple. Kerry won NH by 1% or less and exit polls had him ahead there by about 15%, the largest margin for Kerry in all the exit polls.

If after the recount the margin of actual victory remains at or near 1% the entire issue is dead as a doornail.

If there is a significant difference on the recount and Kerry is much closer to the exit poll numbers the entire election will be questioned and this issue will blow sky high.

That's really all there is to it.
