Orphans from "Annie" to Kucinich: "We love you Mr. Kucinich."

Dennis Kucinich has asked the state of New Hampshire for a full electoral recount. So is it just a 2000 Redux? No. It seems that Mr. Kucinich is concerned with something much larger than himself.

From The News & Observer:

DETROIT - Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, the most outspoken advocate in the Presidential field and in Congress for election integrity, paper-ballot elections, and campaign finance reform, has sent a letter to the New Hampshire Secretary of State asking for a recount of Tuesday's election because of "unexplained disparities between hand-counted ballots and machine-counted ballots."

"I am not making this request in the expectation that a recount will significantly affect the number of votes that were cast on my behalf," Kucinich stressed in a letter to Secretary of State William M. Gardner. But, "Serious and credible reports, allegations, and rumors have surfaced in the past few days...It is imperative that these questions be addressed in the interest of public confidence in the integrity of the election process and the election machinery - not just in New Hampshire, but in every other state that conducts a primary election."

I think that for point of fact alone, Mr. Kucinich may yet win my vote for the primary. Thank you, Dennis, for taking this fight right back to the theives in power, and make them know that we won't take it anymore!
