‘Criminal Enterprise’ Running New Hampshire Recount
Bev Harris of blackboxvoting.org and whom was an integral part of the production team for the HBO special, Hacking Democracy, said that a “criminal enterprise” is running the New Hampshire primary recount and has called for Secretary of State William Gardner to resign and his assistant, David Scanlan to be fired. With the evidence stacking up, prosecution of those involved in alleged vote fraud may be in the cards, and resignation is considered a start, as long as it doesn’t include immunity.
“I think assistant Secretary of State David Scanlan, who is actually their operations guy, should be dismissed from his position and the Secretary of State should resign, and they need to refund the money for both candidates and recount all those ballots in public,” said Harris.
“What they’re doing here is a criminal enterprise,” she added, “It has all the earmarks of it.”
In the video below entitled Sham chain of custody, poignant questions are clearly asked of public officials regarding the chain of custody and ballot box tampering only to receive vague responses from obviously squirming officials. One official is heard calling for security to have Harris removed.

Harris stated on the Alex Jones Show, “I knew that somebody needed to get to New Hampshire and protect or find out what they’re doing with chain of custody of the ballots” she said in reference to Republican candidate Albert Howard’s attempts to oversee the recount. “New Hampshire has the memory cards for 81 percent of its votes counted by this one company - we found there was a convicted felon involved in that….that’s why I wanted to see what the chain of custody was” Harris continued.
Election officials claimed that a special tape was in place to seal the ballot boxes, but Harris disproves these so called seals in the video and the tape can easily be peeled off and re-applied.
“It’s a post-it note,” said Harris, “You can rip it on and off, on and off.”
A company by the name of Butch and Hoppy were hired to transfer the ballot boxes instead of by state police, which was the understood protocol. These two truck drivers raced around the state at high speeds up to 90 MPH in 65 MPH zones in an apparent effort to ’shake’ those trying to witness the chain-of-custody.
“We caught them meeting up with a green jeep in the middle of nowhere half way through their route and we walk up to them and they drive off in a different direction,” said Bev Harris.
“I wanted to see what the ballots looked like when Butch and Hoppy take them off the truck, well sure enough they didn’t have seals on them and some of them weren’t even closed - they had the box top open with big gashes and tears in them,” said Harris. She also revealed that officials have left ballots in their offices in lieu of storing them in secure vaults.

Re: COUNTERS’ TALLY SHEETS
Dear Mr. Gardner:
I respectfully request a slight change in the recount procedure.
Current Procedure
The people who are counting the votes are entering the results on individual ward and town tally sheets. They are all using pens with red ink. They then sign and walk the tally sheets to the front of the room where they are handed to a state employee.
The state employee says she checks for discrepancies before manually transposing the figures from the local tally sheets to a County-wide tally sheet, using the same red ink used by the counters. The state employee then enters the figures from her County-wide tally sheet into her computerized master recount file (an excel spreadsheet). Only then does the state employee make and hand me a copy of the counter’s tally sheet.
New Procedure
I wish to receive a copy of the tally sheet for each ward and town, before it is handed to the state employee. It is simply too easy for anyone to alter a figure(s) on a counters’ tally sheet in order to narrow or eliminate a discrepancy. Such evil could never be uncovered short of yet another statewide recount.
Please know that I have no reason to suspect anyone of such mischief. My purpose is merely to tighten up the procedure, in favor of the candidate, and to eliminate any temptation to commit such wrongdoing.
Very truly yours,
Albert B. Howard
