Dixville Notch, NH

[W2LYS]

The first voting results are in from Dixville Notch, NH, who started their voting at midnight...

31 votes were cast so far...

15 for Bush/Cheney
15 for Kerry/Edwards
1 for Nader

Hang on folks... I have a feeling we're in for a long couple days here. Hope I'm wrong...

Actually the count was like this:

"The first Tuesday votes came from the northern New Hampshire community of Hart's Location, where 16 voters chose Bush, 14 went with Kerry and one chose Nader. Minutes later, the 26 registered voters in Dixville Notch, about 50 miles to the north, split 19 for Bush and 7 for Kerry."

But I agree this one is gonna be a nail biter.

After the polls close, they will count the 437 new residents registered last week by the Democrats all as Kerry votes. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

I'm turned off completely from the last election from the spoiled brat, temper tantrum, bad loosers the democrates demonstrated.

If Kerry wins, then that will be that. If Bush wins, then the democrates will cry, wein, and take it to court for recounts.

Unfortunately, a precedent was established in 2000. Of all previous contested elections, there had not been one in which a concession was rescinded. Gentlemanly conduct dictated that a concession, once tendered, was left in place. It contributed to unity in spite of outcome. In '60, even Nixon opted not to challenge Cook County Illinois returns, even in light of obvious fraud, for the sake of National Unity. Voters remembered that when he ran again in '68. If Gore had been more patient, more gentlemanly, more thoughtful of the Nation's welfare, the fiasco of 2000 would not have been an issue in this year's election. Unfortunately, PanGora opened that particular box of venom, by rescinding his concession.

CPA:

Let me see if I understand you correctly:

For the sake of national unity, a candidate, his party, and the millions of people who voted for him, should say nothing, do nothing....when obvious election fraud rears it's ugly head.

Yep...

Passive acceptance of fraud and criminal conduct surely is the American thing to do.

Gee.......

No...just that when there is no evidence of election fraud, the losing candidate should graciously accept his defeat. #It really bothers me that four years after the 2000 election, after several investigations that found much less corruption than in previous elections, so many people still insist on acting like President Bush stole the 2000 election!

There was no fraud in 2000. And I am SO DONE with the 2-digit IQ types who insisted that certain "groups" were not permitted to vote.
