500 Diggs and Counting.... this page is really really cool... A Closer Look At The Count
500 Diggs and Counting.... this page is really really cool... the source may annoy some but the numbers is the numbers.

******

2008 New Hampshire State Primary Results
A Closer Look At The Count

With all the activity and stories today, the thousands and thousands of views to this page in the last 12 hours, I wanted to emphasize a few key points.

First, all of the numbers here are either untouched from the latest polling results or pretty simple calculations using those results.

Second, these results by themselves are NOT enough to prove that any fraud occured. They simply show that some things stand out as being odd and worthy of further investigation.

Third, my purpose in all of this is to simply bring attention to these apparent anomalies. The anomalies appear in the votes for both parties. My only agenda is that the voters on both sides be accurately represented.

Last, please be civil and courteous with those whom you discuss these issues. Do not attack, slander, or otherwise disparage anyone until there has been verified fraud if that happens to be the case. And even in that case, take the high road. Again, all we should be trying to do is make sure that every vote is accurately reflected and counted.

7. Simple Formula: flip the machine counted vote between Hillary and Obama (9967 vote transfer) and
you get:

Obama 114,606
Hillary 102,199

Total Votes 287,580

Now, calculate their respective percentages of the total vote:

Obama 39.85%
Hillary 35.53%

Compare to the avg. Hand count %
Obama 38.785% (1.065% variance)
Clinton 34.703% (.827% variance)

Compare to exit polls avg>
Obama 39% (.85% variance)
Clinton 35% (.53% variance)


(Source: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2645358)

If you simply flip the machine vote between Barack and Hillary, their vote totals coincide with the average of exit polls and are close to the hand counted vote %. Don't need no rocket science to figure this out (beats the 101 excuses I've heard to explain the anomalies between the reported vote and the polls).

11. What sort of deadbeat commie rabble rousing
Edited on Thu Jan-10-08 12:26 PM by truedelphi
Pinko are you these days, Kip?? <sarcasm meant>

Can't you trust the process?? <sarcasm meant>


And I bet you think it chicanery that the Media is getting us to fall in line with the notion that the voting results should be announced and the winner called with only 65 to 67% of the total vote brought in? <sarcasm meant>

However, it should be pointed out that in column one under Pre-election polls, a full five per cent of the voters were undecided. So maybe they all went to Hillary (which I don't think is really possible, but it does need to be mentioned that she could possibly pull some portion of that 5 %)

12. NOTE HOW 99% of the vicious insults are directed AT those with a 'conspiracy theory' but all the ...
whining about "negativity" is directed AT the very same 'purveyors of conspiracy theory'

I hate to rain on such nice people's parade, but this kind of contradiction is VERY COMMONPLACE

I remain skeptical about the Voting Fraud NH 08 theory either way, but the debate is clearly one side bringing forward evidence (like that VERY interesting chart) and the other side just namecalling and moderators like Skinner siding with the namecalling "anti-divisive" side hurling almost all the personal insults!

13. How true - but now why should there be a debate?
This can be settled with a hand-count of the optiscan ballots. No guessing or speculation necessary. But it needs a candidate to file the contest and pay $80,000 unfortunately.
