Republican wins New Hampshire special election as officials run out of machine ballots

The Republican candidate running in a special election to fill the seat left by the death of the New Hampshire House speaker won, as turnout eclipsed the number of machine ballots available for the town of Merrimack.

Republican Bill Boyd defeated Democrat Wendy Thomas and Independent Stephen Hollenberg, a member of the American Solidarity Party, on Tuesday. Boyd, who was a town councilor for 10 years, garnered 2,531 votes compared to Thomas’s 2,144 and Hollenberg’s 104 votes, according to the New Hampshire Union-Leader.

Boyd's win was announced late on Tuesday due to local officials turning to paper ballots after they ran out of 4,000 machine ballots, which in turn delayed the results.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Yep. What I have been told is that many of these were #$%%$!!! mail-in ballots - harvested in the fall, many from both in-state and out-of-state students at UNH, SNHU, and other colleges.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
