In the New Hampshire primary, early voting results from Concord's Ward 10 show a strong showing for Nikki Haley, with 739 votes, compared to Donald Trump's 467 votes. It is worth noting that it is relatively easy to get on the ballot in New Hampshire, resulting in multiple unfamiliar names being included. Despite this, Haley's main challenge was to gather anti-Trump votes, which she seemed to achieve in this ward. The race also witnessed a few votes for Mike Pence, Chris Christie, and Vivek Ramaswamy, which could have potentially favored Trump.
Moving to Manchester's Ward 6, where the last vote was cast, the moderator, Louise Gosling, printed out the tape from the voting machine and proceeded to announce the results. However, it took some time to resolve issues with signing the tape to ensure its authenticity. The preliminary numbers are provided, with a total of 454 write-in ballots recorded. The vote tally revealed various names, including those of several Republicans. Noteworthy tallies include 1,169 votes for Donald J. Trump and 849 votes for Nikki Haley, along with a significant number of write-ins for other candidates.
