>No, he wanted to make sure that the allegations of vote counting fraud that had been made were inaccurate -- especially since they involved Diebold machines. If Obama had asked for the recount, he would have looked like a sore loser, but Kucinich could do it without having to worry about accusations of self-interest.

>If I remember correctly, the recount showed that there was no wide-spread fraud, and that we could therefore trust the results of the election. Just think of the accusations that would have been thrown around had it been electronic-only, with no means to recount.
I see. Thanks for the explanation. The news story I saw didn't mention that, just spun it as "guy with 2% of the vote asks for recount."
Holy moley, you're in Bangor now? How long have you been there? I lived there for 10 years as a kid.
