We’ve got something for you if you’re looking for irregularities in your local elections. Columbia, New Hampshire. It’s way up north. A tiny little town that, according to the 2020 US Census, had 695 residents. But according to the Secretary of State, Maggie Hassan received 1,106 votes from the same town.

Don Bolduc had 193 votes.

 

	State of New Hampshire – General Election
November 8, 2022	United States Senator
Coos County	Bolduc, r	Hassan, d	Kauffman, l	Scatter
Columbia	193	1106	4	0

 

The State Website reports Columbia, NH, had 735 residents in 2019. Columbia, NH’s website says the population in 2010 was 798. Wikipedia cites a decline based on the 2020 census to 695.

How were over 1300 votes cast in a town with a population under 700 at least and under 800 at best?

Someone up there might want to request the same-day registration list. Your town doubled in size overnight.

Democrats were counting.

I think it was maybe 25 years ago, some republican guy called me and was soliciting money for the RNC. I thought, here is my chance. I cursed that guy up one side and down the other. I called him everything but a white men. I told him take my name off the Republican Party rolls. I told him I thought they were only slightly better the Democrats, but only very slightly.

Graveyard voters.

[plain talk]

Yep. Took six posts for someone to state the obvious. Thanks.

Where are you getting your data? I'm looking for total turn out this year.
Thanks

Yes. I realize that. LOL I’ve got so many pages open and am keeping up with so many races, I’m losing track of who is who. Plus I have all the grandchildren spending the night and should have been asleep hours ago (oh, to have their endless energy again).

I live in NH. I was looking at the numbers yesterday. The republican/Rino governor got 75000 more votes than Hassan. And the 2 Democrat reps also got 75000 more votes than Sununu. But the NH house and the Nh senate both went Republican. 75000 is about 25% of the total votes for the state.

[Vaduz]

Every time a democrat is in the race something like that happens democracy in action huh Moe.

[MHGinTN]

Not a mystery at all. Demonrats needed more votes to seal their candidate.

[texas booster]

Looks like a typo.

Wonder how many other typos are still not corrected?

[Dr. Franklin]

The Sununu’s have been rigging elections in NH for decades now. This should surprise no one.

The OP article has apparently been updated and the vote count for that town is being described as a ‘typo’.

They are wonderful indeed. We have had all five since yesterday afternoon. The house is a mess, all the dishes are dirty, I’m running out of snacks, and ran out of energy a long time ago. They treat spending the night here as if it is a great slumber party with no bedtime.

Good post.

Even the most basic analysis exposes the cheating—for anyone who dares look at it.
