I was reading the other thread about the "miscounted" votes and read the responses and after having time to digest it all, here is my conclusion.
The recount NEEDS to happen! If voter fraud is, indeed, occurring - it needs to be exposed NOW and THAT ISSUE is bigger than Ron Paul. It is an issue that the future of our nation depends on. The vote counts HAVE to be correct, or we are nothing but a dictatorship. If we, the people, are truly just going through the motions and are simply pawns used to put on a farce that resembles democracy then we need to expose it and now might be our best chance to do so.
Arguments against (from the other thread)
1. We need to move on
Answer: To what? If voter fraud is occurring - what are we moving on TO? More voter fraud - so what is the point
2. It could make Ron Paul like a "kook".
Answer: You're kidding me, right? That is how they've been characterizing him right along so what does he have to lose?
3. We need boots on the ground - not people recounting votes
Answer: Again - if there is voter fraud - then what is there to move on TO?
And - If the volunteers in NEW HAMPSHIRE are willing to do it - how does that negatively affect efforts in Michigan or South Carolina? It doesn't.
So - I am officially BEGGING the campaign to ensure that the vote count was correct! Either a discrepancy is found and his number improve and he is vindicated or nothing changes and we can put the vote fraud issue to rest once and for all.
