With about 20,000 ballots re-counted so far in New Hampshire’s Democratic presidential primary, the man paying for the re-count, Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich, has picked up exactly one vote.
Secretary of State William Gardner says with nine of Manchester’s 12 voting wards re-counted, a lot of the votes are exactly the same or within a vote or two of the original official results.
Gardner says it could take up to six weeks to sift through all of the 287,000 Democratic ballots cast in the New Hampshire primary. A Republican recount has also been requested, but Gardner said that wouldn’t happen until the Democratic recount is finished.
