What happened to the Nader recount in NH?... saw somewhere that

[hangloose]

it will not move forward because Nader didn't include a check with the recount request? Can this be right? Tell me no.

1. Last I heard ...

Here's a report as of last night (sorry, I can't search here and didn't save the link):

. The source of the article (not the writer) was the assistant AG, who is NOT in the loop, but who tried to hijack it without the knowledge of the SoS or ASoS who have the authority to approve/disapprove. In fact, the quote attributed to the SoS (Gardner) was incorrect; he was never interviewed at all. All we can figure out is that the asst. AG creep told the reporter that he was relaying the SoS's words.

2. The SoS has softened up all the requirements because our people on the ground (National Ballot Integrity Project and Democracy for NH) have been working with them for literally months and have gotten very much on their good side.

3. Nader is willing, but required guarantees that he wouldn't be left holding the bag. We set up an escrow account for that purpose today and will fund it tomorrow. Nader has been notified by our attorney of the escrow.

4. Our attorney (BBV and NBIP's) is setting up a legal fund to take contributions and disburse funds to candidates/citizens groups for any and all recounts. As soon as the paperwork is done (tomorrow hopefully) he'll set up a bank account and a paypal account and it will be announced (probably by Andy) on Air America, DU, and at all the blogs. We'll also be going to the big organizations to request that they blast the fund info to their members.

5. The SoS is being pretty damn patient because he understands that this is citizen-initiated and funded action,and not a Nader exercise in self-aggrandization.

This is the all the latest info as of close of business today, Monday.

inside source of information.

4. Thanks for the update.

I do wish we knew the source?

I am PISSED that I sent a contribution to Kerry's (or was it DNC) "recount" fund, just before the election. My last dimes!

Next time, I'll know better, and save my recount $$ to send to whoever is really going to stand up!

Is Kerry/DNC unable to send $ to Nader for this?? Where are my dollars??!!!!!
