New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlon, in an interview yesterday, provided updates on the primary election taking place in the state. While it was too early to determine if the predicted record turnout of over 320,000 voters would materialize, Scanlon mentioned that there had been a solid surge in turnout early in the day, although it had slightly decreased since then.
Regarding the write-in campaign for President Biden, Scanlon assured that the results would still be available by the end of the night. He explained that New Hampshire had over 100 towns that hand count their ballots using a sort and stack method. In machine count towns, the moderator would need to sort out the write-in ballots, stack them for the relevant candidates, and count them. Additional assistance had been brought in to expedite the process, ensuring that it wouldn't take an extensive amount of time.
