New Hampshire: Seven more towns reject a ban on voting machines | Amanda Gokee/Boston Globe
A proposed ban on voting machines was rejected by voters in seven more towns in New Hampshire, following efforts led by a conservative group, the New Hampshire Patriot Hub, which enlisted the support of Mike Lindell, known for promoting false claims about the 2020 election. Brookline, Newbury, Campton, Meredith, Tamworth, Ossipee, and Plymouth all opted to continue using voting machines, with the proposal failing in varying vote margins or by voice vote. The push to ban voting machines has faced resistance across the state, with previous rejections in five towns and Danville passing a measure requiring a hand count for the presidential election. Despite evidence showing the accuracy of voting machines, they have become the subject of conspiracy theories among conservatives following the 2020 election, with nine more towns set to vote on the issue on March 16 and Hopkinton on March 21.
