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.

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.
