Kucinich has filed to have the NH ballots hand-counted. I love it.
This will be a VERY interesting project, as long as the 'chain-of-custody' for the ballots is firmly established as being sound.
Why is this a good idea? For one thing, we have yet another instance of "gosh, the polling was wrong again. These things happen." We have heard this before.
But wait, there's more. As posted on the Brad Blog this morning:
Analysts at the Election Defense Alliance (EDA) have confirmed that based on the official results on the New Hampshire Secretary of state web site, there is a remarkable relationship between Obama and Clinton votes, when you look at votes tabulated by op-scan v. votes tabulated by hand:
Clinton Optical scan 91,717 52.95%
Obama Optical scan 81,495 47.05%
Clinton Hand-counted 20,889 47.05%
Obama Hand-counted 23,509 52.95%
The percentages appear to be swapped. That seems highly unusual, to say the least.
'Highly unusual', indeed.
[UPDATE: the contrarian view]
