Recounting in New Hampshire Appears to Validate the Machine Count

After a day spent recounting in New Hampshire, I have to tell you that there were minimal problems found with the machine count. In fact, out of 4,000 votes recounted, we only found 3 mistakes. The staff of the Secretary of State's Office was highly trained and professional and proceeded to do the recount while politely allowing challenges from the Kerry, Bush, Nader and Badnarik observers. There was also a recount going on of a local State Senate race which had been decided by only 150 votes. I did hear during the day that a recount of manually counted votes had gone on earlier in the week and that a number of discrepancies were found, but I did not see any numbers from that recount.
