Was the New Hampshire vote stolen?

The Web is abuzz with allegations of fraud, and Dennis Kucinich is asking for a recount. The charges don't hold water, but this problem is not going away.

    Maybe the count is off

    I read this on BradBlog. It is alarming:

    ......

    "Analysts at the Election Defense Alliance (EDA) have confirmed that based on the official results on the New Hampshire Secretary of state web site, there is a remarkable relationship between Obama and Clinton votes, when you look at votes tabulated by op-scan v. votes tabulated by hand:

    Clinton Optical scan 91,717 52.95%

    Obama Optical scan 81,495 47.05%

    Clinton Hand-counted 20,889 47.05%

    Obama Hand-counted 23,509 52.95%

    The percentages appear to be swapped. That seems highly unusual, to say the least."

    .......

    That is a strange perfect reversal, to the 1/100 of a percentage point. The possibility of error needs to be studied with all due diligence
