In a piece titled, “Recounts ‘find’ votes, not fraud in NH,” Political Reporter Kevin Landrigan itemizes a number of irregularities from the November 3rd elections in state-level races. We covered them all last week without much hyperbole, including the ‘300’ found votes in Windham.

During a recount requested by a Democrat looking to erase a 24 vote deficit to claim a victory, each of the four victorious Republican candidates for the Statehouse received an additional 300 more votes than originally reported. We speculated about the possibilities, including some chicanery by the left’s political ‘Machine’ or just some machine error.
Kevin Landrigan and the UL Covered it like this.
In Windham, after the recount of a House race last week, all four winning Republicans received at least 297 additional votes.
In the recount, one of the four defeated Democrats lost 99 votes, but the three other Democrats made small pickups of 18 to 28 votes.
None of those changes altered the outcomes.
Great, but why did the highest vote-getting Democrat (who asked for the recount) lose 99 votes? That’s a big number for one NH House Race. State Senate races rarely see that much movement in a recount.
And then there are the 300 or so votes each Republican gained, each. The ones Windham did not report on election night.
The average House member represents 3000 residents. That’s 10% of their vote per rep. How do you dismiss that without a second thought? Well, none of those changes altered the outcome.
Were they supposed to?
Between St. Laurent losing 99 votes and Robert Soti gaining 297, that’s a 396 vote differential between the lowest vote-getting winning Republican and the highest vote-getting losing Democrat after the recount.
Nothing to see here?
The speculation is that the folks who chose not to wear a mask (segregated, usually through different door or portion of the polling place) account for the 300 missing votes among each of the four Republicans (297, 299, 303, and 298, respectively). Who is more likely to refuse to wear a mask? Republicans.
They were clearly not permitted to maintain custody of the ballots for whatever cray COVID-KAREN reason, or they’d have all been scanned on election day, and we’d still have a problem.
So, who took those ballots, and why were they never scanned? Was that even the problem?
And how did ‘the machine’ that scans the hand-completed ballots the residents themselves were permitted to put into the machine produce 99 more votes for one Democra out of four?
I’m sorry there is no simple oops write off for this.
It all strikes me as very suspicious. And I’m curious how much more of this there might be in other towns around the state whether it changed the results or not. And no just as a means to find more Republican wins.
Races in these towns can turn on as few as one vote. If St. Laurent in Windham won one of the four seats by, say, 90+ votes, the Republican might not have requested a recount. Then we never see the missing 300 votes and the shift in results.
It’s a problem, and I get a sneaky suspicion that the Secretary of State and AG, like the Union Leader, will shrug and say that none of those changes altered the outcomes.
