Election Fraud rumors in New Hampshire primary

"Multiple indications of vote fraud are beginning to pop up regarding the New Hampshire primary elections. Roughly 80% of New Hampshire precincts use Diebold machines, while the remaining 20% are hand counted. A Black Box Voting contributor has compiled a chart of results from hand counted precincts vs. results from machine counted precincts. In machine counted precincts, Clinton beat Obama by almost 5%. In hand counted precincts, Obama beat Clinton by over 4%, which closely matches the scientific polls that were conducted leading up to the election. Another issue is the Republican results from Sutton precinct. The final results showed Ron Paul with 0 votes in Sutton. The next day a Ron Paul supporter came forward claiming that both she and several of her family members had voted for Ron Paul in Sutton. Black Box Voting reports that after being asked about the discrepancy Sutton officials decided that Ron Paul actually received 31 votes in Sutton, but they were left off of the tally sheet due to 'human error.'"

1. Fact or not, we're not allowed to talk about it.

You know, we don't want to look bad in case freepers are watching.

To the dungeon you go!

5. Actually the Paulites are pretty miffed...

...they might make themselves useful for once.

I really don't care whether Paul beat Giulliani that much. But I do think random audits of sample precincts should be standard operating procedure. Keeps the local BoEs on their toes.

7. Yep, the whole Ron Paul goofball army

has discovered Diebold Systems. And they are flipping out. I think it's a good thing.

2. If that's the best "evidence" of fraud...

...then you should probably either go back to the drawing board or give up. There's no meat on that bone at all.

6. Add that to the huge pre-polling and exit polling discrepancies, and

there is enough meat to make a pretty stinky soup.

3. There is a bigger issue than what candidate one supports for the Dem nomination.

The issue is that we cannot trust the voting technology on which we rely in our elections, so we must always be suspicious of the results. This is one of the most insidious way that the GOP and its corporate allies have undermined what democracy that we have. We are not the world's bastion of democracy, rather a poor relation to the truly-democratic countries of the world.
