Recounts are underway across the state. Given the fallout from Tuesday, Nov 6th, Granite State Republicans have to be happy about every seat they hang on to or pick up. Yesterday they got one in Laconia.
According to the count on election night, [Gail] Ober had defeated Republican Richard B. Beaudoin for that seat by 12 votes, 2,583 – 2,571. But on Friday the hand count of ballots ended with Beaudoin edging out Ober for that fourth seat by two votes, 2,588-2,586.
The current count in the New Hampshire House, Democrats to Republicans, is 233-167 so every seat matters.
