NEW HAMPSHIRE AGREES TO HAND COUNT

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

NY TIMES - Just three days after Tuesday's primary election, the New
Hampshire Secretary of State's office says it will conduct a hand
recount of the votes in both the Republican and Democratic primaries
starting next Wednesday after receiving formal requests from two
candidates this week.

On Friday, Albert Howard, an obscure candidate from Ann Arbor, Mich.,
who appeared on the Republican ballot and received 44 votes in the
primary, hand-delivered his recount request and a down payment of $2,000
to the statehouse in Concord, N.H.

And Dennis Kucinich, an Ohio Congressman and presidential candidate,
sent a letter to the New Hampshire Secretary of State asking for a
recount of the Democratic ballots. Mr. Kucinich's letter cited
"unexplained disparities between hand-counted ballots and
machine-counted ballots."
