Albert Howard recount appeal to NH BLC
Mr Howard's appeal has real concerns of the
accuracy of the vote counting process for
both machine ballot counting and paper
ballot counting. Both processes are prone
to be inaccurate as review of the recent
recounts recorded on the NH SoS home page
indicates.
Perhaps adding a verification count as part
of the end of election day at the polling
ward/precinct by performing a manual hand
count of the paper ballots may help us to
get an error rate from the 1% to 20% or more
to a better error rate of less than 1%.
Thanks and Good Luck
