if you listen to the rest of that podcast episode, when they get into the news story about how the police force is becoming more military, it pretty much brings that imagery home.

So I just heard about this documentary called Hacking Democracy and I was wondering how accurate this documentary is? On the homepage they talk about how NH was hacked with the Diebold Machines, during the 2008 primaries which is why Dem. Dennis Kucinich and Rep. Albert Howard were demanding a hand recount. If this is really happening in NH is any state really any better off than the other?

A man is born into a family that goes back many generations in NH.

He lives a full life, never leaves the state, is active in his community and is proud of his NH lineage.
When he dies, the headline of his obit reads,"Lowell MA man dies".

Oh I wouldn't presume to be NHguy. I'll take suggestions for the new name, however.

NH uses paper ballots as far as I know. Ron Paul got over a thousand write ins (one was mine, figgered it was as good as an Obama vote in da big pic).
