Kucinich wants New Hampshire recount
By: SGT News | Submitted on: 01/11/08SOUTHERN ARIZONA (SGT NEWS) - Long-shot presidential candidate and Ohio congressman Dennis Kucinich is calling for a statewide recount in New Hampshire to ensure the integrity of Tuesday's primary election.
Kucinich cited “serious and credible reports, allegations and rumors” as the main reason behind his recount effort, including the allegation that hand-counted ballots tended to favor Obama, while machine-counted ballots favored Clinton.
While Kucinich is entitled to a recount, under state law, Kucinich will have to pay for a recount throughout the entire state.
The Ohio congressman admits that he does not expect any significant change in the results after the recount, but only wants to ensure that 100 percent of the voters had their voices heard this week.
