Large discrepancies between the election night totals and hand counts in the state representative race in Windham, New Hampshire, were due to “unforseen consequences and misfortune” relating to ballot folds, a 2020 audit found.

Released to the public on Tuesday, the findings and recommendations from the Windham audit came more than six weeks after it concluded on May 27. One of the auditors, Harri Hursti, confirmed to the Washington Examiner on Monday that his team submitted its findings to the state a day before.
