Comment tool for analyzing NH results (Score 2, Informative) 861

Here is another tool for examining the NH primary results. It compares each candidate's hand-counted to machine-counted vote ratio with the overall ratio, and can limit the report to towns producing a certain range of votes (e.g. say you only want to consider medium-sized towns to factor out the urban-vs-rural issue).

Please consider that the real way to deal with the risk of fraud is for citizens to organize their own exit polling. The commercial exit polling is not truthful-- it is known that they adjust their results to the actual election outcome and do not make the raw data available.

Submission + - Diebold vote fraud in New Hampshire primaries

Westech writes: Multiple indications of vote fraud are beginning to pop up regarding the New Hampshire primary elections. Roughly 80% of New Hampshire precincts use Diebold machines, while the remaining 20% are hand counted. A Black Box Voting contributor has compiled a chart of results from hand counted precincts vs. results from machine counted precincts. In machine counted precincts, Clinton beat Obama by almost 5%. In hand counted precincts, Obama beat Clinton by over 4%, which closely matches the scientific polls that were conducted leading up to the election.

Another issue is the Republican results from Sutton precinct. The final results showed Ron Paul with 0 votes in Sutton. The next day a Ron Paul supporter came forward claiming that both she and several of her family members had voted for Ron Paul in Sutton. Black Box Voting reports that after being asked about the diecrepancy Sutton officials decided that Ron Paul actually received 31 votes in Sutton, but they were left off of the tally sheet due to "human error."
