Diebold Voter Fraud Rumors in New Hampshire Primaries

Westech writes "Multiple indications of vote fraud are beginning to pop up regarding the New Hampshire primary elections. Roughly 80% of New Hampshire precincts use Diebold machines, while the remaining 20% are hand counted. A Black Box Voting contributor has compiled a chart of results from hand counted precincts vs. results from machine counted precincts. In machine counted precincts, Clinton beat Obama by almost 5%. In hand counted precincts, Obama beat Clinton by over 4%, which closely matches the scientific polls that were conducted leading up to the election. Another issue is the Republican results from Sutton precinct. The final results showed Ron Paul with 0 votes in Sutton. The next day a Ron Paul supporter came forward claiming that both she and several of her family members had voted for Ron Paul in Sutton. Black Box Voting reports that after being asked about the discrepancy Sutton officials decided that Ron Paul actually received 31 votes in Sutton, but they were left off of the tally sheet due to 'human error.'"

    Polls before an election are a guess who will win, not an actual predictor who will win. Imagine how many white folks said they would vote Obama so they didn't sound like a racist. Plus Hillary cried.

      All likely, but that makes it curiouser, because Obama beat Clinton in wealthier/better educated exit polls (while Clinton won the poorer/less educated vote).

    People deserve the government they get... Sadly, 90% av US citizens don't seem to know that US is a Democratic REPUBLIC... Anything electronic can usually be altered without any trace... I wouldn't trust those machines... but then again, I don't live in US! :D

    Enjoy your upcomming fascism! :p

    Sounds like the hand counters did a terrible job. They lost about 9% of Hillary's ballots. I would look into some serious voter fraud on these hand counters. They were clearly trying to throw the vote in Obama's favor.

    (slightly sarcastic reply to point out there is more than one way to explain a stat)

    I'll have to paraphrase, as I cannot Google the quotation (!)

    When the exit polls don't jibe with the results (and there is a Diebold evoting machine involved) then the results have probably been tampered with.

    He was speaking before a committee of Congress about being asked to write a program to fix a Florida election, and was responding to a question about whether the Ohio elections of 2004 might have been tampered with.

    I remembered his meaning yesterday when every member of the press and their pundits was trying to make sense of a situation that has only one explanation that fits Occam's Razor.

    I hate to say it, but it appears our votes no longer count. Or no longer count right.

    What currently stops your boss from ordering you to come to his office and swear a solemn oath with God as your witness, that you voted as he told you to?

    Swear what to which god? No problem.
    One hand on the Bible, one hand on the Koran, scrotum on the Torah, sitting on the I Ching; invoke the god of your choice and I can still claim anything I want to, and you're stuck either believing me or not. But if there's a paper trail linking me to my votes, I'm an easy target for discrimination. It may not be legal, but that is only a minor impediment to some. In the end a secret ballot, with only you knowing the real truth of it is the only way to allow people to vote as they wish. Any link from you to your ballot is asking for corruption.

    Here they have, for FIRST TIME IN US HISTORY TWO gender and color/gender minorities who BOTH have major votes and stand to easily defeat any member of their opposition.

    Who gives a rip? If you're voting for them because they're minorities, you're a racist tool - go kill yourself.

    So, technically, pretty much all non-Caucasian "Americans" have had since roughly 1975 to realize an opportunity to excel

    But poor whites are screwed. I guess that's okay, since they have 'white privelege' on their side.
