So, is the Dean campaign investigating any voting irregularities?

I've seen several threads on this topic, mostly about New Hampshire, but I haven't seen anything official from the Dean campaign. Inquiring minds want to know!

Edit: I guess "calling for an investigation" would be more likely.

1. Here's what I'm talking about

Does the Dean campaign have any official "position" on this? Are they going to demand a recount?

2. Ohio & NH are not closed primaries - Pubs can vote Dem.

4. Ok, so, the "geographical distribution", overlapping the repub

% in NH may simply mean that many Repubs voted for Kerry in those towns.

3. Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

5. At this point

I hope they do. I hope Dean calls for a full-fledged investigation.

Why? Because such a charge is SO entirely baseless that it will end his campaign immediately.

I'm sick of his supporters pretending that NH was somehow stolen. It has been discussed here MANY times that the Optiscan counting system is used primarily in the region bordering Massachussetts. Any reasonable person would assume the simplest explanation: that people near Massachussetts voted more heavily for Kerry, and people near Vermont voted more heavily for Dean.

There is NO evidence of any irregularities whatsoever, other than the fact that ONE person with a blog made a false conclusion from a geographic correllation that matches a voting-system correlation.

I want to see Howard Dean claim that even though he tanked in Iowa, and was sinking fast in the polls in NH, that somehow the election was still stolen from him by 13 points.

6. yes Dean can't win because the voting was rigged

It didn't have anything to do with him being a DLCer in Progressive clothing, his attacks on other Dems, his being a front-runner target for the media, or suffering from over-hype or anything like that

IT WAS RIGGED I TELL YA
