Dennis Kucinich has requested a recount in New Hampshire:
Democrat Dennis Kucinich, who won less than 2 percent of the vote in the New Hampshire primary, said Thursday he wants a recount to ensure that all ballots in his party’s contest were counted. The Ohio congressman cited “serious and credible reports, allegations and rumors” about the integrity of Tuesday results.
Deputy Secretary of State David Scanlan said Kucinich is entitled to a statewide recount. But, under New Hampshire law, Kucinich will have to pay for it. Scanlan said he had “every confidence” the results are accurate.
He stands to gain pretty much nothing, I’d say, on his own behalf… but I can’t say he’s wrong to do it.
Leaving voting results open to question leads to… um… problems, and this election will be hairy enough without a repeat of the last two. If there’s a question out there, then by golly, get it answered!
