Also meanwhile…Out there in MSM world, where reality creates its own definition, WMUR is reporting<\/a> that all is fine in New Hampshire:<\/p>\n

CONCORD, N.H.<\/strong> — The continuing Democratic primary recount in New Hampshire has not found any voting problems.<\/div>\n

Well, they’re sort<\/i> of correct. “Voting” problems aren’t the concern. As we frequently point out, the voters are still doing fine. Leave them alone. The election<\/i> problems, and the horrible administration thereof, are another matter entirely. And on that front, loads<\/em> of problems have been “found.” But only if you bother to look at them<\/a>, of course.<\/p>\n

Given WMUR’s following quote from NH Sec. of State Bill Gardner, which is demonstrably wrong in 3 seconds time if you bother to look at the SoS’s very own web page for hand count results<\/a>, it’s not a surprise that WMUR thinks everything is just rosy:<\/p>\n

“We did nine of the 12 wards in Manchester, and a lot of the votes were exactly the same,” Gardner said. “Some went up by a vote or two.”<\/div>\n

That is what we in the business of actual reporting<\/em> would call: a lie. Check the numbers for yourself. Yeah, it’s technical true that “a lot of the votes were exactly the same,” as Gardner says, in the same way that a lot of the troops who go to Iraq don’t get killed.<\/p>\n

But many more vote counts were not at all the same, ranging anywhere from 5 to 8 votes off in regular cases, across almost all candidates.<\/p>\n

And before you say that’s no big deal, we’ll remind you that in 2004, had just 6 votes per precinct been registered in Ohio for John Kerry instead of George W. Bush, we’d have a different person sitting in the White House right now.<\/p>\n

Other than that, and the fact that Gardner has no idea where the memory cards are for his Diebold machines, and all other matter of horrible election oversight, yeah, everything’s just fine in New Hampshire.<\/p>\n
