The small town of Windham, New Hampshire, is also going to be audited for its local elections during the 2020 election, which did not involve a presidential election, but was very dramatic and could trigger a statewide audit of the 2020 election in New Hampshire.
Trump also issued a special statement congratulating the residents of the town for their efforts and looking forward to finding the truth through the audit.
Dramatic developments in Windham’s 2020 election results
Windham, a small town on the border of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, has only about 14,000 people.
On election night, Nov. 3, 2020, Republicans swept all four of Windham’s House seats in the state legislature. One Democrat, Kristi St. Laurent, is a member of the House of Representatives. Kristi St-Laurent, who lost by 24 votes, asked for a recount of the votes.
After a hand recount, surprisingly, all four winning Republican candidates received more votes, each by about 300 votes, while St-Laurent’s vote count decreased by 99 votes.
Although the results of the recount did not change the outcome of the election, the change in vote count caused by the recount has raised questions from both candidates and voters.
Democrat Kristi St. Laurent (D-Mich.), a member of the Democratic Party, said that the recount had been conducted in a manner that would have changed the outcome of the election. Kristi St-Laurent (D-N.H.) continues to ask the New Hampshire Ballot Law Commission to investigate the discrepancies between the November 2020 ballot counts.
In February, the state’s Republican state senator, Bob Giuda, introduced a bill that would allow the New Hampshire ballot law commission to investigate the discrepancies in the November 2020 vote count. Bob Giuda (D) introduced legislation specifically designed to authorize an audit of the Windham town’s election results. The legislation received unanimous bipartisan support and was signed into law by the governor on April 12, officially giving the green light for audits in Windham.
The new audit will include Windham Township’s vote counts for state representatives, state senators and the governor, as well as the voting mechanism and election process.
According to the bill, the audit is to begin in the next few weeks.
According to local media reports, hundreds of town residents held a town hall meeting on Tuesday (May 4) to demand an investigation into why ballots were left out of the 2020 count.
Previously, the company hired by the town to recount the ballots said no election fraud was found. But the town’s residents don’t believe the results and want another audit firm to investigate.
One resident, Ken Eyring, said that the town’s election fraud was not found. Ken Eyring, a resident, said, “I don’t believe it now, all the stones haven’t been turned over yet.”
Controversy over who will audit
The new legislation, mentioned above, authorizes the creation of a three-person audit team: one auditor chosen by the Windham Board of Elections, one chosen jointly by the secretary of state and the state attorney general, and a third chosen jointly by the first two auditors.
The auditor selected by the Windham Board of Elections was Mark Lindeman of Markted Voting. Mark Lindeman of Markted Voting, which describes itself as “a nonpartisan organization focused on the critical role technology plays in election administration.”
The auditor selected by the secretary of state and the state attorney general is election security expert Harri Hurst. Harri Hursti, who is known for raising alarms about security flaws in the U.S. voting system.
On Wednesday (May 5), New Hampshire officials announced that Lindemann and Hursti had selected Philip Stark, a professor of statistics at the University of California, Berkeley, as their auditor. Philip Stark as their third partner. Stark was part of the team that conducted the first “risk-limited” election audit in the U.S. in Colorado in 2017, according to foreign media reports.
But Windham residents want the town to appoint Jovan Pulizzi, a renowned inventor, barcode inventor and Stanford University researcher, as their third partner. Pulitzer (Jovan Pulitzer) as audit director.
Marylyn Todd, New Hampshire’s director of voter integrity, said the town would like to appoint Jovan Pulitzer as auditor. Marylyn Todd said she and many New Hampshire residents are making every effort to ensure the accuracy of the recount and audit, and she criticized the Windham Board of Elections for not listening to Windham residents.
Todd noted that Windham residents are taking matters into their own hands and have launched a fundraising campaign to get Mr. Pulitzer to take charge of this election audit. They (referring to the Windham Board of Elections) don’t have a choice, we don’t give them a choice, she said.
Windham residents launched a petition and fundraising campaign on Thursday, May 6, to hire Mr. Pulitzer’s ballot audit analysis team, arguing that Mark Lindeman, who was appointed by the town’s Board of Elections, would be a good choice. Mark Lindeman, who was appointed by the town’s Board of Elections, is suspected of supporting the Democratic Party.
Trump issued a statement congratulating Windham residents for their actions
Former U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday, May 6, issued a special statement congratulating the patriots of Windham, New Hampshire, for their efforts to restore the integrity of the state’s elections and looking forward to seeing the truth.
In the statement, Trump said.
“Congratulations to the great patriots of Windham, New Hampshire, for their incredible fight to find the truth in the massive election fraud that occurred in New Hampshire and in the 2020 presidential election. The spirit of transparency and justice is on display across the country, by media outlets that are not fake news. These patriots are working tirelessly to reveal the real facts about the most tainted and corrupt election in American history, and people are flocking to watch.
