Parallel Hand Counts Put Check on Scanners in New Hampshire

Democracy works with citizen oversight, checks and balances, and free
and fair elections where the votes are sorted and counted in open
meeting.
To this end, the DFNH Fair Elections Committee has secured the
agreement of an undisclosed number of local election officials to
conduct parallel hand counts on election night in machine count polling
places. New Hampshire law appropriately defers to local control
decisions, and so town and city moderators have the option of doing
this if they so desire.
We have identified several places where the moderators have agreed to
do this verification check of hand counted ballots against the Diebold
optical scanner machine count.
We hope that other moderators will follow the lead of their colleagues
and peers, and do the same, so that election integrity is assured in
every NH polling place still using insecure, high-risk Diebold machines.
In a sane world these machines would be outlawed, but since they are
not (yet), We the People must do what we can for love of country.
So here is an alert to would-be tamperers with an eye to rigging NH elections:
WE ARE WATCHING. You have no idea which towns and which races will be
counted by hand on election night. You might as well just back off New
Hampshire. We are running clean elections here.
