It’s not “major fraud.” Rather, it’s the adolescent squealing of defeated Democrats.

By the way... what do you make of Independant Candidate Ralph Nader getting involved in the dispute?

Available from blackboxvoting.com

“We have received reports of irregularities in the vote reported on the AccuVote Diebold Machines in comparison to exit polls and trends in voting in New Hampshire,” Nader wrote Secretary of State William M. Gardner. “These irregularities favor President George W. Bush by 5% to 15% over what was expected.”

New Hampshire uses Diebold machines at 132 polling places. Gardner’s office received Nader’s fax at 4:59 p.m. Friday, one minute before the deadline. Under state law, if a candidate requesting a recount finished more than three percentage points behind, he must pay for the process. Gardner said that if the Nader campaign sends a check for $2,000 and promises to pay any additional charges, he will round up the ballots and initiate a hand count.

Spokesman Kevin Zeese said Nader was planning to send the check yesterday. “Either it will allay people’s fears about the results, or it will open the door to looking at other states,” Zeese said.
