[SIZE=3]Nader requests N.H. vote recount [/SIZE] Nashua Telegraph By KEVIN LANDRIGAN, Telegraph Staff landrigank@telegraph-nh.com Published: Saturday, Nov. 6, 2004 CONCORD - Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader requested a hand recount of ballots in New Hampshire after getting seven-tenths of 1 percent of the vote. “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. <clip> ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Nader’s recount request came in as a fax at 4:59 p.m., one minute before the deadline. The application is not legal, however, because it did not come with payment, according to Assistant Attorney General Bud Fitch. “At this point, we aren’t considering it to be a valid request,’’ he said. Anyone who loses by more than 1 percent of the vote has to pay for a recount, he said, noting the cost statewide could be $80,000. Nader can appeal that decision to the state Ballot Law Commission.

So I guess this is developing still. I hope the money part isnt a problem. Its a small chunk when you consider what hes buying.........Democracy itself.
