I didn’t expect Trump to win in New Hampshire or Maine but I expected both to be close. Biden supposedly won both by 7-8 points. Not buying it.
So, if you take the percentage of Republican votes that were not counted in Windham, NH and extrapolate that across the entire state in every town that uses these type of machines it was a lot closer. Was it enough for Trump to win the state? probably not.
The issue was only with the mail in ballots that were folded and stuck in the return envelope. Not with the rest of the ballots filled out in person on November 2nd and fed into the machine by the voter.
That is how we do it in my town in NH. We fill out the ballot with a black magic marker and feed it into the machine ourselves. Then it drops into the box attached to the bottom where it is saved in case of a recount or audit.
I am in a town of 2400 total people. So, maybe 1100 actual voters. We had over 200 absentee mail in ballots in my town.
