"CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Democrat Dennis Kucinich, who won less than 2 percent of the vote in the New Hampshire primary, said Thursday he wants a recount to ensure that all ballots in his party's contest were counted. The Ohio congressman cited "serious and credible reports, allegations and rumors" about the integrity of Tuesday results.
Deputy Secretary of State David Scanlan said Kucinich is entitled to a statewide recount. But, under New Hampshire law, Kucinich will have to pay for it (emphasis mine). Scanlan said he had "every confidence" the results are accurate.
In a letter dated Thursday, Kucinich said he does not expect significant changes in his vote total, but wants assurance that "100 percent of the voters had 100 percent of their votes counted (emphasis mine)."

I caught that this morning. The difference was between the count by hand going to Obama and the count by the Diebold machines going to Hillary! I told you those damn machines are going to haunt us. If I was Barack, Kucinich, and the rest besides Hillary I would pool the money and get it done. You cannot audit those machines in any respect. They have got to go or we are in for another mess!
At Daily Kos they said the machines were good in NH. They have no stake in Diebold.
