Wired News: Vote Recount to Settle Doubts?

Wired News: Vote Recount to Settle Doubts?: "New Hampshire wards used optical-scan equipment made by Diebold Election Systems and Election Systems & Software. About 62 percent of the wards with anomalous results used Diebold machines.

'Which is pretty high,' Briggs said. 'Especially in comparison to hand-counted paper ballots, which accounted for only 27 percent of the out-of-trend wards.'

[..] But Briggs stressed that there was nothing to indicate fraud.

[...] Unlike states and counties using paperless touch-screen voting machines, New Hampshire passed a law in 1994 requiring all voting machines to produce a paper trail, so the paper can easily be used to verify the vote results."

If the recount shows up any anomolies recounts in other states may follow.
