(Granite Grok) We’ve got something for you if you’re looking for irregularities in your local elections. Columbia, New Hampshire. It’s way up north. A tiny little town that, according to the 2020 US Census, had 695 residents. But according to the Secretary of State, Maggie Hassan received 1,106 votes from the same town.
Don Bolduc had 193 votes.
The State Website reports Columbia, NH, had 735 residents in 2019. Columbia, NH’s website says the population in 2010 was 798. Wikipedia cites a decline based on the 2020 census to 695.
How were over 1300 votes cast in a town with a population under 700 at least and under 800 at best?
Someone up there might want to request the same-day registration list. Your town doubled in size overnight.
[Update] – I received some outreach, including this.
