Here's hoping that either it winds up higher than Hillary's tally, or that it just ends up being 1%.

I'm thinking the latter will be true.

From the linked article...
"He also noted the difference between pre-election polls, which indicated Obama would win, and Clinton's triumph by a 39 percent to 37 percent margin."

So he's afraid he took Hillzilla's 2% away from her? God forbid!

...oh...wait...Democrats don't believe in God

The extra votes are hiding in his ears. Along with Jimmy Hoffa and DB Cooper.

So you're saying he did do better in the recount.

Kucinich is still a shriveled, weird little man and every who voted for him is a worthless, smelly hippie who should never have been given a vote in the first place.

Quit picking on poor Kook-cinich! That all applies to everyone who voted for a Dem or Ron Paul, too!

I vote for Elizabeth Kucinich for president of my lap.

Kucinich's wife is a feisty one, isn't she?

Q: How many votes did Kucinich get?
A: More than he deserved.

Well, actually, there is a good reason for HIM to call for it.

After getting less than 2% of the vote he only has to pay $2000 for a recount. If Obama called for it he'd have to pay the full amount.

Hmmm..let's see, I've heard Obama's polling had him 14 points ahead on election day, Hillary's had him ahead by 11. The consensus of the 16 or so other polls had him ahead by 8. The unadjusted exit polling said he should have won.

80% of NH's ballots are counted on Diebold (renamed Premier because of their horrible reputation) optiscan tabulators. All of these machines, not just Diebold, have time and time again been shown to be easily hackable vote fraud enabling junk. It would take one person with a memory card tainted by a untraceable program a high school kid could write a few minutes access to corrupt one of these machines and change the outcome at an entire polling place to any numbers he or she wants. Did that happen? I don't know. I can tell you when Bradblog guest blogger Dori Smith asked Ken Hajjar the Director of Sales and Marketing for LHS Associates, the company that runs virtually all of New England's elections including NH's, "about his admission that he and his company regularly replace voting machine memory cards (the keys to the kingdom!) at will, in the middle of elections, he told her, "I mean, I don't pay attention to every little law.""

It doesn't matter if you're Republican, Democrat, or none of the above, if you care about honest elections we all ought to be demanding that all electronic voting and tabulating machines be outlawed in favor of transparent hand counts in every election.

This isn't tinfoil hat stuff. If you want to see a demonstration of how easy it is to hack a optiscan tabulator, the exact kind of tabulator used in NH then click the link below for the Youtube.

Point of information. Under New Hampshire Election Law, if a candidate requests a recount and the candidate's total vote is within three percentage points of the winner, the candidate will only pay $ 2,000 for the recount. As Kucinich's total vote was less than two percent, there is no way that he was within three percentage points of the winner. Thus, he will have to pay the full cost of the recount.

Ah, you are right, I read it backwards.
