LHS Associates is the sole proprietor for electronic election voting equipment, software, and memory cards in New Hampshire. Their Diebold machines are responsible, by some estimates, for collecting over 80% of the vote in the Granite State.
They’ve got a monopoly and a reputation.
Another thing the company has is strong ties to Londonderry, New Hampshire, where Amanda Butcher (she’s a lefty) won a school board seat in a Republican town.
At a time when people are as aware as ever of the need to change the direction of public education, this “stay the course” candidate won with the backing of unions and far-left activists.
I’ve been told that Amanda Butcher is the sister of Brenda L’Italien. Brenda has represented LHS Associates in the past at recounts and is a manager at the company.
John Silvestro and Ken Hajjar, principals at LHS, also have strong ties to Londonderry, political ties. And though Hajjar supposedly retired to Raymond a few years back, he was very involved in the recent election won by Amanda Butcher.
It doesn’t necessarily mean anything, but LHS and the Diebold election machines have been at the center of numerous vote-counting issues over the years – not the least of which was 2020.
If you search the internet machine, you’ll find some interesting stories about LHS associate employees swapping out memory cards mid-election because of card failures or to hide card-related issues during elections.
The end result of all of that is a growing number of people don’t trust the machines, Silvestro, or LHS. But NH continues to rely on them.
The vulnerabilities are real but LHS has a monopoly and no desire to lose any advantage.
And this story is still developing, so if you have tips or corrections, let us know.
