While the audit is focused solely on tiny Windham, the results could have statewide repercussions, as the AccuVote machines used in the town are the only vote-counting machines approved for use in New Hampshire.
Following the Nov. 3, 2020 election, vote tallies recorded by three of the machines show results that closely approximate each other across all races, including the presidential.
On the remaining machine, the percentages received by the Republican candidates are closer to the percentages received by Democrats on all other machines.
In the presidential race, for example, on machines 1, 3 and 4 the results for the major party candidates were as follows: machine 1: Trump 57.4%, Biden 40.3% machine 3: Trump 56.9%, Biden 40.8% machine 4: Trump 57%, Biden 40.3% But on machine 2, the result was Biden 55.6%, Trump 42.2%. Machine 2 also appears to have recorded a significantly higher "Overvoted" percentage than the other machines.
Prior to beginning the forensic audit on Tuesday, Mark Lindeman said that the "Fact pattern" he and his team have been brought on board to assess "Seems unusual, if not unprecedented." The four machines being audited are AccuVote optical scanning systems, which were manufactured by Global Elections Systems Inc., which was ultimately acquired in 2010 by Dominion Voting systems.
Dominion owns the intellectual property of the AccuVote machines and its related election management system, but did not manufacture the machines being used in New Hampshire.
Any problems found in these voting machines could thus have implications for the 2020 election results statewide, including the presidential contest, in which Biden defeated Trump by 52.9%-45.5% in the official tally.
