Kucinich requests recount in N.H.

Citing “serious and credible reports, allegations and rumors” about Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary results, Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich is asking for a recount, the Associated Press is reporting.

Kucinich got less than 2 percent of the vote. Under New Hampshire law, Kucinich will have to pay for the recount, which Deputy Secretary of State David Scanlan said he has “every confidence” is accurate, according to the AP.

Kucinich’s concern comes from a discrepancy between pre-election polls and the results, and also online reports, which had hand-counted ballots favoring Barack Obama but machine-counted ballots favoring Hillary Clinton.
