NH SecState: Expect Results Quickly

“I think the results will come in relatively quickly,” Scanlan said. “There are still over 100 towns in New Hampshire that hand-count their ballots. That’s a simple sort and stack method by candidate. So there will be no difference there. On the Republican — in the towns like Portsmouth Ward 2, where they have machine count, the moderator is going to have to go through all of the machine-counted ballots looking for write-in votes so that they can be sorted out and then hand-counted.”
