N.H. Primary Democratic Re-count Underway

CONCORD, N.H. (WBZ) ? Secretary of State William Gardner says his office is ready for

Wednesday's re-count of New Hampshire's Democratic presidential primary.

 

Democrat Dennis Kucinich has paid $27,000 to Gardner's office to start the re-count.

Election officials tell WBZ-TV that the recount could take up to a month.

 

Kucinich, who received less than 2 percent of the vote, says he is suspicious of the

results, although he doesn't expect a re-count to change his vote count much.

Kucinich alluded to online reports alleging disparities around the state between

hand-counted ballots, which tended to favor Sen. Barack Obama, and machine-counted

ones that tended to favor Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. He also noted the difference

between pre-election polls, which indicated Obama would win, and Clinton's triumph by

a 39 percent to 37 percent margin.

 

Deputy Secretary of State David Scanlan said Kucinich is entitled to a statewide

recount. But, he had "every confidence" the results are accurate.

 

Kucinich has asked that the re-count start with Manchester ballots and spread out

from there to other Hillsborough County precincts. He can stop the re-count and get a

refund for the balance of the costs. To re-count the entire state would cost him

about $70,000.

 

Republican Albert Howard of Michigan also has asked for a re-count but has not paid

for it yet.

 

Gardner says he will get started with the Democratic re-count and if Howard comes up

with the money later, he will consider the request then.

 

The re-count to began Wednesday morning at 9:30 a.m.

Democrats have done this for years. Look at California elections the

past decade or so. Quite a few recounts, all Dem. It's a liberal

thing. Look at the last major election in Mexico and what the Liberals

there did. Same mentality.
