[KatieB]

This was not a state-wide recount.

Assistant Attorney General Bud Fitch said recounts in Nader's targeted precincts would not resume until at least Wednesday, virtually ensuring they won't end until after Thanksgiving.

Nader, an independent presidential candidate this year, paid $2,000 to begin a recount of 11 of the state's 126 precincts after an analysis showed wide differences in voting trends between the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections. <<

Zeese said the campaign could request more recounts in New Hampshire or other states if the initial results merited the decision. The scheduling of other precinct recounts depends on the campaign. More money, about $3,500 to $4,000, would be required for those precincts, Fitch said.

The Nader campaign didn't expect to change the outcome. In New Hampshire, Democrat John Kerry defeated President Bush, 50% to 49%, while Nader got less than 1% from the state's 301 precincts.
