Connecticut asked him to stop but never terminated his contract.Kucinich Seeks NH Dem Vote RecountBy STEPHEN FROTHINGHAM – 14 hours ago
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Democrat Dennis Kucinich, who won less than 2 percent of the vote in the
New Hampshire primary, said Thursday he wants a recount to ensure that all ballots in his party's
contest were counted. The Ohio congressman cited "serious and credible reports, allegations and
rumors" about the integrity of Tuesday results.
Deputy Secretary of State David Scanlan said Kucinich is entitled to a statewide recount. But, under
New Hampshire law, Kucinich will have to pay for it. Scanlan said he had "every confidence" the
results are accurate.
In a letter dated Thursday, Kucinich said he does not expect significant changes in his vote total,
but wants assurance that "100 percent of the voters had 100 percent of their votes counted."
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.
Candidates who lose by 3 percentage or less are entitled to a recount for a $2,000 fee. Candidates
who lose by more must pay for the full cost. Kucinich's campaign said it was sending the $2,000
fee to start the recount.
Scanlon said his office had received several phone calls since Tuesday, mostly from outside the
state, questioning the results. New Hampshire's voting machines are not linked in any way, which
Scanlon says reduce the likelihood of tampering with results on a statewide level. Also, the results
can be checked against paper ballots.
"I think people from out of state don't completely understand how our process works and they
compare it to the system that might exist in Florida or Ohio, where they have had serious
problems," he said. "Perhaps the best thing that could happen for us is to have a recount to show
the people that ... the votes that were cast on election day were accurately reflected in the results.
And I have every confidence that will be the case."http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hI6F-VhnmJPDIgAFnfu6VPHpqapAD8U3EBKG0
