Republican Dennis Hogan, is in a virtual tie with Democrat Mary Ann Crowell in the race for Hillsborough County Register of Deeds. Hogan got 81,388 votes and Crowell received 81,450, a difference of only 62 votes, a minuscule .038% of the votes cast.
Hogan, a former Hillsborough County Attorney, has a very good chance of taking this seat.
In the recount for Nashua Ward 9 the Republican state rep candidates each gained more than 20 votes apiece and many of those voters likely voted for Hogan. In a recount of the entire county, there could be many more Republican votes recovered.

This is also a good chance to uncover irregularities in the machine count of the ballots across the cities and towns of Hillsborough County including Nashua, Manchester, Merrimack, Milford, Bedford, Amherst, Goffstown, Hollis, and Hudson.
We need at least eight volunteers who are registered Republicans for the recount plus a few more volunteers in case someone has to cancel and more if volunteers can’t stay for the entire recount.
The recount is on Tuesday, November 29 at 9 am at the New Hampshire State Archives at 9 Ratification Way, Concord. Training will be available on-site prior to the count so plan to arrive at 8:45 am at the latest. Plan on being there for three to four hours and longer, if you can. Please contact Di Lothrop at vchair@nashuagop.org if you are interested in helping with the recount.
