It was my decision to demonstrate the sham seals on videotape. I will be happy to reimburse the state of New Hampshire for the $1 or so cost for the sham "seal", since I used a blank seal on an empty box. Of course, as you will see in the video above, these seals are reusable, worthless, and fraudulent.

I would not have performed the demonstration had the state of New Hampshire complied with my requests to show me whether the seals adhere. I requested this of Deputy Sec. State Anthony Stevens, of Assistant Sec. State Dave Scanlan, and of Sec. State Bill Gardner. They each declined to demonstrate the removability of the seal, but did claim that the removable paper "sealed" the ballot boxes and amazingly, used the fraudulent "seal" to secure the DOOR TO THE ROOM WHERE BALLOTS WERE STORED OVERNIGHT (see video). My demonstration was the only way to achieve the exposure of their lies, and clearly in the public interest.

The police interrogated Vickie Karp and Jeannie Dean about this. They were present for part of the demo. They were not involved in the decision or the act of testing the seal. The decision to demonstrate the "seal" fraud was mine and only mine.

I have so far been unable to find out who ordered these seals, since not a soul at the New Hampshire secretary of state's office claims to know who's responsible for the false seals. The chain of custody breakdown affects the recount, which Sec. State Gardner charged presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich over $25,000 for -- a recount which was aborted when the Sec. State would not allow them to reconcile ballots cast with poll books, and after many discrepancies and chain of custody problems were uncovered. Republican candidate Albert Howard has paid $55,000 to recount the entire state. They delayed his recount, then counted ballot boxes that had already been opened outside his presence and without notifying him, and I have just gotten word that they will once again delay by halting the count next Tuesday and Wednesday.
