Why is it so few people pay attention to the big things? BradBlog’s Brad Friedman is one of the astute few journalists who have been pressing the issue on electronic voting. But, as the New Hampshire recounts roll in, the rest of the media has been shamefully silent, although WMUR9 New Hampshire spewed some false logic telling the public that essentially no errors took place. But, significant errors did happen.
In Hillsborough County, Clinton gained 675 votes – a jump of more than 2 percent. Time will tell if more errors are forthcoming. There were also bizarre but credible reports of eight-inch slits cut into the sides of some ballot boxes, and several other (surely frivolous) things like resealable ballot-box seals – it’s all part of the fun at Black Box Voting’s chain of custody investigation.
The officially sanctified recount numbers might be hard to come by unless you take the activists’ word for it. The media isn’t reporting anything. And the official Web page for the recount seems to be having technical difficulties. (Say, “Oh, well!” now.) Here is a incomplete screenshot (19 Jan 2008 02:04:48 GMT) of the current Google cache of the recount page .
To me, this all proves the media is the lynchpin of the whole big scam. By ignoring the efforts of concerned people, pigeonholing them as batty leftist radicals, they turn truth into mistruth and lies into fact. The main message is: “Some activists got angry, but there was nothing wrong with the vote. Go back to your homes, people.”

As mentioned last night in this disturbing article, the early results of the hand counts of one Diebold precinct in Dennis Kucinich’s election contest in New Hampshire are now being posted, as they come in, at this New Hampshire SoS page.
As mentioned earlier today, NH SoS Bill Gardner told WMUR in NH that “We did nine of the 12 wards in Manchester, and a lot of the votes were exactly the same…Some went up by a vote or two.” He didn’t, of course, note that a lot of the vote counts (most of them) were off by 5 or more.
And now, the rest of the numbers from the rest of the Manchester wards are coming on. And get a load of Ward 5:
Diebold Result : Hand Count
CLINTON 683 : 619
EDWARDS 255 : 217
OBAMA 404 : 365
All of the other candidates seem to have lost votes as well. No clue who received them instead…
