I didn't read the link that closely, but I think what the stats are saying is in some precincts they voted by machine and others by hand. And for whatever reason Obama came out ahead in the hand vote precincts and Hillary in the machine vote precincts. Maybe it was just the demographic differences of the precincts.

 

What I still can't believe is from what I have heard / can tell we've still made no progress in removing doubt from all these electronic machines with the addition of paper trails and audits. It really casts some crappy doubt on election results that we shouldn't have to deal with as a country.

There was also an article asking the question of why exit polls had Obama way out in front, yet the results were different.

 

I, for one, am still not a fan of Diebold equipment. From a strictly technical standpoint, I wouldn't let one of those things balance my checkbook.

My town votes with paper ballots. I've never even SEEN a voting machine except on television. Most of NH is pretty rural. Manchester and Nashua are the biggest cities and they likely vote with machines, for example. Those would have been Hillary's greatest sources of support anyhow.

 

There's nothing to see here. Really.

Fixed for accuracy.
