Given the authors association with Fitrakis and Wasserman, this story is very lacking in context and makes statements that are questionable, such as "and possibly explain Hillary Clinton's surprise victory in the New Hampshire primary.". THAT is strictly a msm storyline, not the basis for the recounts from both the democrat Kucinich but also the republican Howard. And preambling the story "So far the errors highlight problems with electronic voting, but don't overturn Clinton's surprise victory." is also a msm headline. The story also doesn't mention the issues associated with the chain of custody of voting materials and how the Secretary of State of New Hampshire subcontracts out the logistics of elections to a private company that has a convicted felon as an executive. Not good journalism.
