Who really won in New Hampshire??

[Richard Moore]

"In summary, not only was Clinton's New Hampshire victory tainted if not apparently hacked but the Clintons must now clearly be seen as part of the Washington establishment and status quo and, in no way, agents of true change."

CLINTON TAINTED VICTORY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
By Teilhard

Voting irregularities in New Hampshire point not only to the previously discredited Diebold Accuvote optical scan but to the distinct possibility that the Clintons, who obviously represent the Washington establishment and the status quo, will do anything to satisfy their corporate interests and stay in power: Allen L Roland

Yesterday when I read the New Hampshire election returns I was shocked by Clinton's victory ~ particularly when reliable polls showed Obama with a double digit lead on the eve of the election.

The one thing I refused to consider was the possibility of the election being hacked but now I am beginning to realize two apparent truths ~

1. The Washington establishment is terrified of the people and will go to any lengths to maintain their power and corporate strangle hold on the government .

2. The Clintons are an integral part of the Washington establishment and status quo and, as such, will go to any lengths to preserve their power ~ even at the expense of a fair and honest election.

Here are the facts ~ read them and get angry !

Bev Harris. Black Box Voting, b...@blackboxvoting.org

" John Silvestro and his small private business, LHS Associates, has exclusive programming contracts for ALL New Hampshire voting machines, which combined will count about 81 percent of the vote in the primary. And as to Super Tuesday and beyond: Silvestro also has the programming contracts for the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont.

NEW HAMPSHIRE HAD NOT IMPLEMENTED MITIGATIONS FOR KNOWN RISKS

Not only that, they have turned all the programming over to a sole source private company, taking vote counting for 81 percent of New Hampshire citizens out of the public domain.

LHS is not subject to public records requirements, as the government is, at least, not in New Hampshire. Their control over memory card contents is absolute; when cards malfunction or get lost, LHS brings the replacements."

Those Diebold op-scan machines are the exact same ones that were hacked in the HBO documentary, Hacking Democracy.

The New Hampshire pre-election pollster's numbers were accurate, for the most part, on the Republican side, as well as on the Democratic side ~ except in the Clinton / Obama race where machine counted votes gave Clinton a whopping 6% vote advantage over hand counted paper ballots.

Where Paper Prevailed, Different Results By Lori Price 09 Jan 2008

2008 New Hampshire Democratic Primary Results --Total Democratic Votes: 286,139 - Machine vs Hand (RonRox.com) 09 Jan 2008

Clinton, Hand Counted Paper Ballots: 34.908%
Barack Obama, Diebold Accuvote optical scan: 36.309%

In summary, not only was Clinton's New Hampshire victory tainted if not apparently hacked but the Clintons must now clearly be seen as part of the Washington establishment and status quo and, in no way, agents of true change.
