to remind us that the election of OUR DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE depends on the accuracy and fairness of the election process, and a test of that is being conducted now in NH.

I didn't know there was a recount going on.

I still get excited thinking about New Hampshire.

Clinton country.

You would be reading about that comeback in the history books.

Obama had a chance to put her away but he couldn't do it. Plus her victory has left the punditry and pollsters shocked.

I couldn't believe my ears when Chris Matthews apologized to Hillary Rodham Clinton on hardball tonight.

If she wins the nomination , she would have to have a big victory party in New Hampshire.

Obviously I am disappointed that this recount has not revealed Capalbo's true strength in New Hampshire, but otherwise what did you expect? New Hampshire is a pretty orderly state that does not tolerate election shenanigans. Deibold machines are machines that perform repetitive tasks reliably, as long as they are not tampered with. A recount in a Goo Goo state was never going to reveal that the machine's software is corruptible, and nobody with any familiarity with the fundamentals of software development will be surprised that in an optimal case Deibold software performed adequately.

The problem is that Deibold software is particularly susceptible to tampering, and this recount has weakened the case for addressing it.

So where is the guy who was screaming about DIEBOLD VOTER FRAUD?  Larsson something (forgot the first name, Dennis or Derek.)

We need more scrutiny of vote-counting in order to restore faith in our elections.

I had no doubt that the outcome would not change, but I still welcome the recount.

He did a victory lap and around New Hampshire and then pulled a Leon Lett and fumbled the ball on the 3 yd. line.

A pattern is emerging.

Obama who isn't gutting it out on the campaign trail, working the rope lines, doing the meet and greets and putting in the face to face time, as Edwards and CLinton are.

Instead Obama jets in gives a speech and splits.

Add to that this bizarre willingness to puff himself up at every opportunity.  One week he compares himself to Lincoln.  The next John F Kennedy.  The next Martin Luther King.   The next Ronald Reagan.  Who is next?   Jesus Christ?    

Obama is woeful if you ask me.  But he has a cult like following.   I'll tell you what though, the Republicans are licking their chops.  They hope they get him.

From what I've seen, she's actually gained votes in the recount.

You summon a randomly picked jury from among the voters who go to each polling station. The participants are forced to serve just like court juries. They are chosen from a large, pre-qualified pool three days before the election. They count the vote and run everything, with no interference from "Secretary of State" characters. They are legally required to stay home from work the next day, but are well compensated by the election system. Give the money and the time off to the people instead of the hackers!

There are no machines, the juries just hand count the ballots on the night of the election. Then they publish and announce the results (at each individual polling station) prior to handing them up to tabulation pools. They are all required to take home a complete record of their local results. There would some few errors, but not systematic errors. Even if some juries were biased, other juries would be biased in other directions, so any biases would canceled.

Recounts are useless because the chain of custody of the secret ballots is such a weak link. The results taken home by all the jurors would certainly be expected to agree, anyway.

See, then we wouldn't have the worries, would we? Does anyone here want to keep the super-complicated electronic lightning rods for election fraud? Really? Why?
