CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- Supporters of Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul are helping to bankroll the re-count of votes in New Hampshire's Jan. 8 Republican presidential primary.
GOP candidate Albert Howard of Ann Arbor, Michigan, requested the re-count, which began Wednesday and was continuing. Howard got 44 of the more 200,000 votes cast.
Because Howard wasn't close to the leaders, he had to pay the nearly $60,000 cost of the hand re-count. Howard said a group of Paul supporters called the "grannywarriors" is paying for the re-count. He said Lawrence Lepard of Boston -- who spent more than $100,000 on newspaper ads for Paul -- lent the money to get the re-count started.
