Update on NH Recount

by Shaun Hawkes

http://www.opednews.com

Thanks to a “White Knight” (in VERY shiny armour!) who came carrying a cheque for $55,600, the New Hampshire recount is BACK ON!
Well done EVERYBODY! The combination of the pressure from all of you and the investigations into the various people causing this to be seemingly impossible some 12 hours or so ago has won through!
The Secretary of State for New Hampshire, William M. Gardner, has retreated form his “too late” stance to a position of “Ok, if the money gets here by 15:00 today.”
The money arrived, was handed to Albert Howard and paid, in full, to the Secretary of State.
This is an historic victory for the people of America. Somebody told me today that we have done more for US politics and vote protection in the past 5 days than any other generation in 100 years.
They may well be right!
Following is the message I received from Albert a little while ago, confirming that the payment has been made and the recount WILL take place. Albert asks for your further help in going to New Hampshire to ensure that the vote recount takes place fairly and without compromise. Please, if you have so much as half a day to spare and can make the trip, DO SO!
Well done again everybody. We have taken back New Hampshire...Now for the rest of the country!

Best wishes and good luck,

Shaun

The money for the New Hampshire recount has been secured. The ball is rolling!!
We need multiple thousands of volunteers to help oversee the ballots as they are counted.
Come to Concord, New Hampshire.
Thanks again for your support.

1. Will this pay for the whole

recount then? Along with Dennis' payment? Or does each party have to pay the fifty or so thousand.

3. Because the primary was really two entirely-separate elections...

Because the primary was really two entirely-separate elections,
a Democratic candidate must call for and pay to recount the
Democratic election and a Republican candidate must call for
and pay to recount the Republican primary election. The
recount will cost $0.24/ballot and the number of ballots
cast in the two elections differs so the price tag to
fully recount the Democratic primary differs from the
price tag to fully recount the Republican primary.

Right now, the Republicans are "paid in full" and Dennis
Kucinich has paid $27,000, a portion of the estimated
$7x,000 Democratic bill.

5. In the GE

would the estimated cost be around 126k?

6. I'd imagine turnout will be even higher so a recount will cost even more.

But, inflation aside, $0.24/ballot ought to still do it
to recount just the Presidential race.

But don't forget, we in NH will also be having a hotly-
contested statewide U.S. Senate race and races covering
our two Congressional Districts. And a Governorship
(every two years in NH). And five Executive Councilor
races. And twenty-four State Senate seats. And the
largest legislature in the U.S.!

With a little luck, we'll finish recounting before
the 2010 election results are in!

2. I think that's the Reep recount.

Ours was already on and rolling.
