8. Obama hasn't fought for Election Integrity...

He has not done so, so far. Particularly when he had the opportunity, for just $2000, since he was close enough to Clinton in NH, to have an entire state recount for no more than 2 measly thousand.

Given that the results were diametrically opposed to every pre-election and exit poll, and given that 80% of NH's ballots were counted on optical-scan systems known (famously) to be hackable (the very same ones used in the hack seen in HBO's "Hacking Democracy"), he should have asked for the hand count to assure that every vote was counted and counted accurately.

As we later learned, after Dennis Kucinich paid to count *some* of those ballots on the D side, and Albert Howard paid to count *all* of the ballots on the R side, every vote was not counted, nor was it counted accurately.

Obama blew an important chance to stand up for the voters at that moment. Sorry, but thems the cold, hard, documented facts.
