Voting has concluded in the first primary contests, and election officials in New Hampshire have begun the task of reviewing and tallying the votes. The ballots have been taken out of the ballot box, a cherished item that dates back to the 1980s and was crafted by state penitentiary workers. These officials, who had just cast their own votes, are now meticulously examining each ballot to ensure accuracy.
Six results are expected from this primary, and they will be posted on a board at the polling station before being transmitted to the Secretary of State's office. The election officials carefully scrutinize the ballots, making sure that they were properly filled out. They record the selected candidate on separate pieces of paper. The initial reports indicate that all six votes have gone in favor of former UN ambassador Nikki Haley.
