I think NH needs an audit of their Sec of State or County operations. Take a look at some of these numbers:

The total vote counts are close to what you posted. I added them up and came up with 287,411. But the SOS reports (from the link) that only 221,309 ballots were cast. And “Names on Checklist” (Registered Voters) shows a total of 715,967.

You can say that again...And did you notice in footnote 3 the number of voters who registered, then went back to undeclared status before leaving the polling place ?..i wonder if they went back in and registered under a different name and voted again ?...and maybe again at a different precinct ?...Blame the NH Legislature for not closing those loopholes..Cook County NH ??
the 221,000 is only the Dem total of ballots cast. IF you look at the link closely, you see that the 69,000 GOP are in a separate column, making about 290,000, which is just right (and slightly above), the number of votes tallied. No discrepancy
