CaP'N GRuNGe Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 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.

Donutrun Jellies Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 There was also an article asking the question of why exit polls had Obama way out in front, yet the results were different. Would YOU admit to voting for Hillary, even if you had? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 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.

Egret Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Kucinich requested, and is paying for, a recount. Hmm... good for him. That might be good enough for me to vote for him in Michigan's stupid primary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
