NH: "First in the nation" (with corporate controlled secret vote counting)
By Nancy Tobi 07 Jan 2008

81% of New Hampshire ballots are counted in secret by a private corporation named Diebold Election Systems (now known as "Premier").
The elections run on these machines are programmed by one company, LHS Associates, based in Methuen, MA.
We know nothing about the people programming these machines, and we know even less about LHS Associates.
We know even less about the secret vote counting software used to tabulate 81% of our ballots.
