Here are a few of the many comments on the New Hampshire polling mess...from the bottom of this ABC posting... blogs.abcnews.com Our poll here in Iowa before the caucus ran by the Des Moines Register was dead on with the Clinton/Obama results. Why are the NH polls so off? I guess when the votes are counted behind the scenes vs. out in the open like the caucus, then results can be WAY different. Posted by: JR from Iowa \| Jan 9, 2008 1:10:49 AM ____________________________________________________________ I'm a NH voter and there was no fraud. You have to show ID and the results are optically scanned, the most accurate counting system available. The primary is way too important in this state (as evidenced by the turnout) to allow for any possibility of voter fraud. Sometimes your candidate wins, sometimes he/she loses. Get over it. More than 80% of registered voters voted and nobody could predict how that would go. I think many voters did what I did. I was torn between McCain and Obama and chose McCain because he appeared to be in the tougher race. If anything, this election shows how irresponsible the media can be in its rush to judgment. The media practically declared a winner on Sunday. I would hope that maybe they'll actually let the voters decide in the future, but I know that will never happen.

Hillary "the inevitable" does not play as well as Hillary the "comeback kid." Just to spice things up , add in a few desperate leaks "campaign in turmoil," and "early exit." This completely redefines her campaign and effectively neutralizes the Obama "momentum" story. Do you really think the television writers have just been siting around?? They're just writing a different type of drama. How do you do it? Get the word out to your supporters to prop up Obama in telephone polling. Posted by: John \| Jan 9, 2008 10:04:30 AM __________________________________________________________ One noticeable thing on the 59 screen shots I grabbed between 10:45 pm NH time and midnight NH time, is that the ones that had late results (not submitted as of 4 hours after poll closing) -- well, you'd expect them to be hand count locations, right? Nope. Mostly Diebold locations. That's a major red flag to me. How the heck can you not push "print" for four hours??? It normally takes only 30 minutes to wrap things up and print the poll tape when the polls close. town winner count: paper count: obama 83 - 45 diebold count: clinton won 59 - 38 not really believeable to me. vote fraud is evident: yes it takes multiple people knowing and that is why people come out occasionaly like this guy... youtube.com people like this come out and then you guys say " oh this is impossible we would find out if there was a "conspiracy" then you find out and don't believe it. not that many people really have to know though this one guys machines are in ALL the diebold counted districts. youtube.com UNCOUNTED VOTE FRAUD DURING THE LAST ELECTION youtube.com Posted by: gabe Harris \| Jan 9, 2008 10:16:39 AM _____________________________________________________________ When I saw the sudden dramatic shift in favor of McCain when he and Romney had been virtually tied all day in the exit polls, I was very surprised. When I saw what happened with Clinton/Obama, I was stunned and became suspicious. After a little research, I learned a lot and am now alarmed. Just one small point from all I learned last night; an expert checked the voting machines in New Hampshire a few days ago and said that in ten minutes, a mediocre hacker would be able to cook the books.
