13. Either the election was a fraud or the science of statistics is bogus
Of course, the exit polls could be invalid, but that seems highly unlikely, far more unlikely than that counting of the votes done by unaudited or un-auditable machines (owned and programmed by rabid partisans without any kind of check or auditing process) was fraudulent. Only 11 precincts in NH were recounted, not the whole state, where the swing from the exit polls was way out of line. It's almost a certainty based on statistical analysis that there was considerable fraud in NH, even if the 11 precincts recounted were supposedly not miscounted.

The alleged "recount" in OH involved only 3% of the vote and that 3% was cherry-picked by the authorities in the state. Even then, a 300 vote swing to Kerry was found, which would have added 10,000 to his total and/or removed a considerable number from Bush's). The choice of places to recount in OH was not done randomly and none of the places recounted had highly suspicious results. In other wds, the
"recount," such as it was, was completely controlled and managed using relatively "safe" precincts.

As far as I know, no place else has been recounted. Certainly no statewide hand recount has been done. Maybe I have been mis-informed.
