A dust-up over a New Hampshire town's results for four legislative seats shows how far Donald Trump’s election lies — and the search for evidence to support them — have burrowed into politics. It doesn't seem to matter that Republicans won all four races.

In this May 7, 2021 photo, Kristi St. Laurent, who ran for a House seat in the 2020 election, poses in front of Town Hall in Windham, N.H. St. Laurent, who requested a recount after losing the 2020 election by 24 votes, has led to a debate over the integrity of the election in Windham and prompted Trump supporters to suggest the dispute could illustrate wider problems with the election system.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” said Breton, who has served on the board for 18 years. “The groundswell from the public is unbelievable.” The trouble started when Kristi St. Laurent, a Democratic candidate for the state House, requested a recount after falling 24 votes short in the November election. Instead of gaining a few votes in her House race as she expected, the 53-year-old physical therapist learned that the recount showed that four of the Republicans each received an additional 300 votes. Laurent lost 99 votes.

Conservative media outlets and Trump supporters saw things differently. They viewed the results in Windham, a town of 16,000 near the Massachusetts border, as a chance to prove that something more nefarious was amiss. If things were suspicious in Windham, maybe they were across the state and beyond. They just needed evidence.

That prompted the crowd to turn up at Monday’s board meeting; some carried posters supporting of Pulitzer. The crowd was so large that the meeting was moved to the high school.The crowd had hoped the board would reconsider its pick. It did not and now the auditors have until May 27 by law to complete their work. They will do an audit, which includes another hand count, at the Edward Cross Training Center in Pembroke.

“I am not going to speculate on anything until I get the answers to the Windham thing, now that there are doubts about what is going on. I just want to know what happened in Windham,” said Breton, a Trump supporter and the only board member to lobby for Pulitzer.

In a small New Hampshire town, the 2020 election still ragesMeetings of the Windham Board of Selectmen are usually as sleepy as they sound — a handful of residents from the New Hampshire town, a discussion of ambulance fees, maybe a drainage study. The crowd at the Monday meeting had been fired up by conservative media, which in recent weeks has seized on the town's election results for four seats in the state House as suspect. The attention, fanned by a Donald Trump adviser who happens to be a Windham resident, has helped a routine recount spiral, ultimately engulfing the town in a false theory that the national election was stolen from Trump.
