Why the call for counting of votes because Hillary won?

11. They use Diebold in NH.
:scared:

Quite frankly, I'm stunned that we are still using EVMs. That is the epitome of stupidity of epic proportions.

12. Congressional Dems seem to be just fine with them.
Has there even been a token attempt to dump these things since the Dems took over?

15. BradBlog was trying to get Pelosi on board but, you're right,
she seemed fine with the current system of election by crapshoot.

Effin hell.

4. Due to wide margins differing from polling data?

6. I believe the call arises from the wide discrepancy between the election data and the polling.
I do not harbor any doubt whatsoever that the results were genuine.

8. Short answer: stupidity. When I say that "diebold" thread pop up when Hillary went ahead I thought
...what a moronic claim.

And what an irresponsible claim.

The arguments about Diebold is that they've been helping Republican candidates in national elections.

to suggest they're helping Dem candidates in a State primary just makes all the previous suspicion look like it was equally stupid.

9. What about the observations at rallies of low Hillary turn out
and the reports of Hillary shipping in bodies from New York to fill the house. Were those the real lies? We already know that the machines are not reliable. Peace, Kim
