Auditors concluded that miscounts in a New Hampshire election were primarily caused by the way ballots were folded, according to a report released Tuesday.
The audit, mandated by the legislature, was called by lawmakers from both parties after a losing Democratic candidate in a legislative race in the town of Windham requested a recount. That recount showed Republican candidates getting hundreds more votes than were originally counted.
The discrepancy drew the attention of former President Donald Trump and his supporters in their effort to find evidence of his wider claim of election fraud from 2020. Critics of the audit said before the report was finalized they felt it had not gone far enough to find the source of the miscount.
“I still have a lot of questions that have to be answered. I still have questions in my mind about the folds and a couple of other items,” Bruce Breton, a member of the Windham Board of Selectmen, said. “Are the folds the real reason for the miscount?”

Ain’t it funny how all these “mistakes” and “folds” only benefit one party...
This supposedly benefitted the Republicans.
I believe a statistician compared the odds with getting hit by lighting every day for a year.
Precisely why mail-in ballots cannot be allowed to dominate an election anymore.
Also, wouldn’t this, in a sane society, require the entire state to conduct a manual recount to see if folds were missed in other jurisdictions?

Wasn’t this the case in Al Gore Junior’s big recounts in Democrat precincts in Florida? Each time Gore got less votes or Bush got more?
Betcha folds were the least of it.
If so, then this is a modified limited hangout.
Yeah it’s the demonrat fold…
Also you’ll find that different precincts probably treated such ballots differently (counted, cured, rejected).
We can’t tell what you actually mean until you tell us what “this” is. If by this, you mean the fold issue, then you are incorrect. Notice that the recount found lots of additional votes for the Republican candidate(s).
Your reading this wrong. The republicans after recount had more votes than the original count. They were shorted by the machines. The democrat that asked for the recount lost by a much larger margin than was originally counted.
Those voters need to be notified they were harmed and have standing to file suit. Then begin discovery and get someone under oath and talking.
Which is why it was reported by AP
That doesn’t seem to be what the article is saying.
It certainly wasn't due to crooked election officials. \sarc
My first thought at the headline was that very obese female election workers were bringing in ballots hidden in their fat folds.
That recount showed Republican candidates getting hundreds more votes than were originally counted
Should be
The recount showed Republican candidates actually received hundreds more votes than were originally counted giving them an even larger lead over the dems.
No it didn’t ! Stop spreading misinformation.
The democrat requested the recount. And she lost significant ground.
