New Hampshire Auditors Say Vote Discrepancies Largely Caused by Ballot Fold Effect

Election auditors Windham, New Hampshire, are saying that some of their latest findings are โ€œlarge enough to account for discrepanciesโ€ in the Nov. 3 election results for four state representative seats.

Auditors said they found โ€œexperimental confirmation that if the contest is undervoted, a fold through a vote target can create a vote.โ€

โ€œSomething we strongly suspect at this juncture, based on various evidence, is that in some cases, fold lines are being interpreted by the scanners as valid votes,โ€ Mark Lindeman, who is part of the audit team, told WMUR.

Harri Hursti, another auditor, wrote on Twitter that testing proved folded ballots were misinterpreted by machines.

โ€œTest decks proved that foldings across a vote targets is misinterpreted as additional phantom votes or subtracts votes due to false overvotes,โ€ he wrote in a post.

Auditors finished the hand recount on May 21. The audit began on May 11.

AccuVote didnโ€™t respond to a request for comment about the audit authorization. Theย AccuVote machinesโ€™ intellectual property is owned by Dominion Voting Systems.

Windhamโ€™s four state representative seats were all won by Republicans on Election Night. The presidential election was not an item for this audit.

Democrat candidate Kristi St. Laurent, who lost by a narrow margin of 24 votes, requested an audit (pdf) claiming that the machines were improperly programmed, and that double voting was involved.

As a result, New Hampshireโ€™s Republican Gov. Chris Sununu, signed a bill last month that gave authorization for forensic analysis and a comprehensive recount of the 2020 election votes in Windham related to optical scanning AccuVote machines.

An automatic recount was done, resulting in St. Laurent losing 99 more votes after a hand recount. Meanwhile, four Republicans gained about 300 votes each.

The other three Democrats gained between 18 and 28 votes.

The audit team said that more issues could be involved besides folded ballots being misinterpreted.
