In a small New Hampshire town, the 2020 election still rages [AP notices Windham]
Associated Press ^ | May 8, 2021 | Michael Casey

Meetings of the Windham Board of Selectmen are usually as sleepy as they sound — a handful of residents from the New Hampshire town, a discussion of ambulance fees, maybe a drainage study.

So when a crowd of about 500 people showed up last week, some waving American flags, carrying bullhorns and lifting signs questioning the presidential election, Bruce Breton knew things were about to change.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” said Breton, who has served on the board for 18 years. “The groundswell from the public is unbelievable.” […]

The trouble started when Kristi St. Laurent, a Democratic candidate for the state House, requested a recount after falling 24 votes short in the November election. Instead of gaining a few votes in her House race as she expected, the 53-year-old physical therapist learned that the recount showed that four of the Republicans each received an additional 300 votes. Laurent lost 99 votes. […]

Conservative media outlets and Trump supporters saw things differently. They viewed the results in Windham, a town of 16,000 near the Massachusetts border, as a chance to prove that something more nefarious was amiss. If things were suspicious in Windham, maybe they were across the state and beyond. They just needed evidence. …

I think I like NH. Between the devil and the deep-blue sea.

Election irregularity? Got something to hide? Go to court.

It is simply incredible to read this article and ponder the spin. Of course, it is the AP.

If you read this article carefully, the tacit implication and suggestion is that it is completely, metaphysically, trans-galactically IMPOSSIBLE that any sort of election fraud (or, let’s called it “error” or “miscount”) occurred DURING THE ELECTION.

No, ALL THE FRAUD must have occurred during the RECOUNT. No rational being would think of questioning the result.

The election was golden. It is the tabernacle, the pinnacle of democratic propriety. This much is a given, it is gospel, it is blasphemy to question the results. The Trump lunatics, obsessed with and driven to the brink of insanity by the election loss of their beloved, yet horrible dictator, are ready to overthrow the solemn tradition (Never mind the towering s**tload of other fine traditions under attack by the left) undergirding our democracy and upend the peaceful lives of the inhabitants of this pastoral New England town.

It should be allowed for anyone to go and do a recount as long as proper controls are in place and the expenses are covered.

NH was using optically scanned written ballots 3o years ago...doing a hand recount in Windham should take an afternoon.

I am not sure what the big deal is in any of these places.

I don't remember any media outlets saying that Gore had won that election, after they did their own recount. It was extremely close; but, Bush won.

Yes, the snide writing by the AP writer is so biased. It is incredible that some people may think that the AP is objective.

Folks, go look at Wisconsin’s result. See Biden’s vote count.

Then add up all the Dem candidates for US House seats, win or lose. That sum is 60,000 less than Biden’s count. That 60K is 4% of Biden’s total. The Biden “win” in WI was 20K votes.

THEN . . . go to 2016. They had 2 House seats unopposed so you can’t compare that, but they had a Senate race in 2016. The Dem candidate got within a few thousand of Hillary’s total.

It looks like 60,000 ballots were filed in Wisconsin with only Biden’s name on them.

The Democrats are incapable of winning an election without cheating.

They’re still trying to determine who won the 2020 Iowa Democrat caucuses.

several observations
1. Voting is the only process where hand counting is more accurate that automated processes.
2. Only government people would think 300 votes out of 800,000 was a good result. I handled checks, eft, and documents for 90 Billion dollars for an insurance company over 15 years. I knew where every penny went.
3. New machines across the country were used because of the requirement to be able to do recounts. All prior elections must be invalid because there was no paper trail.

In general, machine suspicions were brought up to deflect attention from the clear and obvious issue. Vote By Mail.

Ballots could be mass produced and mailed in. There was no signature or address guarantee. The ballots got counted.

All the Dominion screaming looked orchestrated to me. They know software issues are too esoteric to generate the correct amount of outrage, and it would be easily disproven via hand recounts matching the Dominion result.

The fact that both hand counting and Dominion counting were tallying ballots that were not legal would be lost in the screaming about software.

See my post above. An extra 60,000 ballots for Biden were in Wisconsin. We must remember the hatred level of Trump. Those people would for sure be willing to create 60,000 ballots.

Actually, this statement is even more deceptive than that--the 300 vote figure is NOT out of the 800,000 STATE WIDE votes but out of the Windham total--population 16,000. Just what we'd expect from a RINO snake like Sununu (who,btw,wants to run for the Senate in 2022). Oh, yes--it was Sununu's father who encouraged Bush the Elder to nominate David Souter. THE SWAMP . . .

Do you remember Catherine Prudhomme? She heckled Clinton about Juanita Broderick. She’s married now and is a State Representative.

Windham's paper ballots WERE recounted. The paper-recount tally did NOT match the original, "machine count" results.

That's why the Audit is happening.

The goal of the Audit is to see why this discrepancy happened - did the machines malfunction? Were they corruptly manipulated?

I spent today gathering signatures in Windham. We are trying to get the local Selectmen to reconsider their decision to have 3 Audit members, all from THE SAME ORGANZATION - 'Verified Voting' - oversee the process.

The 3 members should be from 3 INDEPENDENT organizations -- at least 2 if not 3 organizations. As it is, the 3 people are all members of the SAME 'V.V.'organization.

Diversifying the 3 auditors will provide checks & balances and assure the audit is accurate & UNBIASED.

Over 80% of NH ballot machines are the same as Windham's equipment. If the machines are inaccurate / at risk, the entire NH state needs to know that information.

G. H. W. Bush was behind in all of the NH polls to Bob Dole. I read that Dole won in every precinct that was hand counted, and Bush won everywhere that had machines. NH gov. John Sununu became Bush's chief of staff when he became president. Never trust a Bush or a Sununu.

Cheat, when trillions of dollars are at stake and the opposition candidate has openly spoken of dismantling your lawfare driven, money laundering oligarchy and you know the media is in the tank for you?

It seems highly unlikely. The co-winkydink of the Chinese Virus lockdowns and the Chicoms openly spying on and buying swamp critters with access to our deepest national security info is mere window dressing. The Chinese wouldn’t provide ballots on the down low, bro.

Meanwhile in my deep blue state the Covid nonsense is held over our heads with no end in sight and vax segregation is public policy, while just South of me armed commie street thugs control public roads and the cops arrest those few citizens brave enough to oppose them because the wokepolice have to “de-escalate” the situation rather than arrest the armed protesters who roam, permitless, seemingly at will.

But printing ballots and cheating on national scale? I don’t think they’d go that far.
