The campaign is checking into the allegations to make sure they are correct. The pics I posted are from politico.com.

If the 31 vote thing turns out to be true as the article linked above says, I am sure he will have no trouble dishing out the money for a recount.

It's just a matter of waiting.

So? I could show the same thing about any of the candidates. If you did the math you can easily see that based upon the votes cast and the vote totals the percentages are correct.

I think he is saying 9/11 and Giuliani.

It will be great to see all the "experts" if Paul goes for the recount.

There is a move on the net to create a fund just to pay for the recount. If they create it, you can count me in to give money.

It's a shame that he couldn't run as the mayor of NYC. He tiptoes across the line of using those attacks for political purposes.

"Those who cast the votes decide nothing, those who count the votes decide everything." - Joseph Stalin

Take a look at the total vote count and the differences between hand counted and machine counted votes.

2008 New Hampshire State Primary Results - A Closer Look At The Count


The biggest discrepancies seem to be between Clinton and Obama, McCain and Romney. However, Huckabee looks like he was shorted about 2%, Giuliani credited for an extra 1.5%, Paul shorted 2%.

I have no doubts that the votes turning out much more different than any of the entrance/exit polls indicated (even internal polling of the candidates) that this will lead to some form of investigations.

side note: The vote count that robbed many people of their votes in Ohio back in 2004 were just found guilty and sentenced this past week.

If we cannot ensure accurate and honest elections here in America, then it is indeed a sad day in this country.

I don't think those are the official results. A lot of people have been noticing today that most sites have different totals. Some only 2 or three votes. Others in the hundreds.

Why don't the hand-counted votes when added to the machine-counted votes add up to the total votes cast?

I agree, today was definitely a sad day in America... From the perspective of a Paul supporter, that 2% could have put Paul in 4th place beating Gulliani again...

But what makes me the most sad, is the people's votes that aren't counted...

I didn't know about the sentencing of the people who robbed the Ohio votes in '04... Thanks for sharing that...
