Diebold Voter Fraud Rumors in New Hampshire Primaries

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the oh-good-this-again dept.

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.'"

    ...the government they deserve. And as an outside (from the UK) it looks as if that is about to apply to America.

    It isn't like any of this is surprising. Everyone knows that Diebold machines are crooked, but they are still being used. Nobody did anything about it, that's why.

    I know its a pain standing up for your civil liberties, but don't worry - if you ignore them, they will go away.

    Paper count in one country: Obama wins by 4%
    Electronic count in a different county: Hillary wins by 5%

    But yeah, most liberals can't tell the difference here either. (you know the kind, people that claim that Bush is like Hitler because they both enjoyed started their day with breakfast).

  3. why would Diebold fix it .. by rs232 · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why would Diebold fix it for Clinton to win, when everyone knows an African American Democratic candidate isn't going to get elected. Also, I thought Diebold worked for the Republican party, so the best way for the Republicans to get in is to have Obama on the ticket ...
