NEW HAMPSHIRE: A POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE — 16 RECOUNTS UNDERWAY Before Election Day, Republicans controlled New Hampshire's 400-member House 215–177. Democrats were the minority. Now? Democrats hold 292 seats to Republicans' 107, with one independent. A net gain of 115 seats. An extraordinary reversal of political power in a single election. But 16 state House recount requests are now underway, involving margins as small as TWO VOTES. LOOK AT THESE CURRENT MARGINS: District / CommunityMargin Farmington 2 Moultonborough area 2 Kingston 2 Derry 2 Franklin Wards 1–3 3 Grafton/Alexandria/Hebron 7 Salem 7 Andover area 16 Littleton area 17 Barrington/New Durham/Strafford 28 Gilmanton/Gilford area 94 Loudon/Boscawen/Canterbury 116 These include multi-seat districts. Salem elects 9 of 12 candidates; Derry elects 10 of 20. A two-vote difference can determine who gets the final seat. New Hampshire law provides TWO separate verification mechanisms: 1. Candidate-requested recounts — RSA 660:1 and 660:5. Candidates can request recounts under statutory margin requirements. Ballots are manually examined, electronic counting devices are prohibited, and candidates' representatives can challenge individual ballot decisions. 2. Mandatory additional audits — RSA 660:17-b and 660:17-c. After the legislative recounts, state law REQUIRES additional audits of PRESIDENT, U.S. SENATE, U.S. HOUSE and GOVERNOR results using ballots from 10 randomly selected recounts. If an audit reveals a discrepancy greater than 1%, a full recount of that contest is required. READ THAT AGAIN: The legislative recounts also trigger a legally required examination of federal and statewide election results. Two recounts had confirmed their original winners as of November 10. The remaining recounts were expected to continue through approximately November 20. A political landslide is not evidence of fraud. Neither is a recount request. But extraordinary results and razor-thin margins deserve extraordinary scrutiny. The question isn't who won. It's whether every ballot was properly counted, every result can be reconciled, and every election outcome can withstand independent verification.

Before Election Day, Republicans controlled New Hampshire's 400-member House 215–177. Democrats were the minority.

Now? Democrats hold 292 seats to Republicans' 107, with one independent. A net gain of 115 seats. An extraordinary reversal of political power in a single election.

But 16 state House recount requests are now underway, involving margins as small as TWO VOTES.
