European press: It wasn't a miracle - Hillary won via a rigged vote

Feature Article - January 14, 2008
The mainstream Italian media are reporting both the rigging of the New Hampshire primary for Senator Hillary Clinton and
the official demands for a swift, accurate and impartial recount. In an article written by Marcello Foa, one of Europe's
most respected journalists, it appears that vote tallies for all Democratic candidates as well as Republicans were
reduced by Diebold vote-counting machines.
In an analysis of the hand-counted ballots, the influential Milanese newspaper - Il Giornale, reports that all
Democratic candidates except Senator Hillary Clinton made gains when the New Hampshire ballots were manually tabulated,
while Senator Clinton made inexplicably large gains where ballots were tabulated by computerized scanners.
According to the report, Ron Paul should have finished third in the Republican primary rather than fifth. Thus, it would
appear that both Barack Obama and Ron Paul were the primary targets of vote-rigging operations in New Hampshire.
Il Giornale cites the Princeton study that alerted public attention to the vulnerability of computerized voting machines
used throughout America to deliberate vote-tampering and election-rigging via manipulation of the memory cards.
The state of New Hampshire is equipped with computerized tabulation machines manufactured by Diebold, devices that have
received a massive amount of negative publicity after the public awareness of vote-rigging surged dramatically following
the presidential election scandal of 2000.
In previous statements, former President Jimmy Carter - who has a global reputation as one of the foremost authorities
on election procedures - has frequently pointed out that the United States of America does not meet international
criteria for electoral security.
