How Did Maggie Hassan Get 1100 Votes in NH Town With a Population Under 700?​

We’ve got something for you if you’re looking for irregularities in your local elections. Columbia, New Hampshire. It’s way up north. A tiny little town that, according to the 2020 US Census, had 695 residents. But according to the Secretary of State, Maggie Hassan received 1,106 votes from the same town.
The State Website reports Columbia, NH, had 735 residents in 2019. Columbia, NH’s website says the population in 2010 was 798. Wikipedia cites a decline based on the 2020 census to 695.

How were over 1300 votes cast in a town with a population under 700 at least and under 800 at best?

That's actually a good question. The data doesn't line up. There were about 300 ballots cast in that town. Population issues aside, how do you total up more votes in total for a race than there were ballots cast?

Apparently it was a typo. Hassan received 106 votes in Columbia, NH but it was entered as 1106 in the county's tabulation. The problem is that the error got carried forward into the "official" count.

It seems that the results from these infallible voting machines get funneled into what appears to be a simple spreadsheet. Sure, that makes sense. Murphy's Law of accuracy - measure it with a caliper>mark it with a grease pencil>cut it with an ax.

Simple human error would seem to be a reasonable argument to ensuring election integrity.

That seems like a ridiculous error to make. Sounds like they have 1 person just keying the shit in.

There should be three separate tally sheets made with three separate groups of people, and at the end all three are checked to make sure they match. If they don't match then they need to go back and verify to make sure they get it right. That would eliminate those types of errors.

Once again - the city vote overwhelms the suburbs and rural vote. This is becoming a problem for the US. Urban culture and suburban/rural culture are vastly different. How can we as a country stay united when big cities continue to dominate elections year after year? How can suburban and rural voters remain placated when we are ruled over by urban elites who do not value our way of life?

Do we need to be United? Can we be divided and prosper with one overarching armed forces but have two sets of rules?
for instance we have the federal tax system as is and the armed services along with some other things, but the governors of states have all the say in laws in the state. No federal laws at all. If Idaho and Arizona wants to make bazookas legal then go move there. If nys wants to ban all guns then leave NYS. I think this untied shot is not all it’s cracked up to be and will be the death of us.

So, 50 different countries is what you are advocating.

There absolutely has to be some level of unity for "America" to endure.
Without it, it will only be one side trying its hardest to suppress the other side.

What you would see, if each State declared itself independent, is effectively a modern Scotland. Many clans at war with one another, maybe occasionally coming together to defend their "Country" against outside forces, but eventually being overrun by the "gentiles".

America is not going to last another 50 years.

I seriously doubt it will even last another 10.

In all but name, "America" has ended.

If that how you want to put it fine then yes. We have this now. There are states that violate federal laws on immigration and drugs right now as we speak and what’s being done about it? Other states violate the constitution regularly like NYS and CA what’s being done about it? Do we really have what you think we have now? So a few more federal laws would fall by the wayside so what?

They said so, when the Lee Resolution was passed.

I agree that they are. In order to realize that though, the states would first have to cast off the federal government as it is. Every agency, tax law Etc.. The DOD (as it is now) would have to be dissolved and military matters go back to the direct control of each state.

As stated above, the states would have to cast off the federal government as it is now and either start new with a weak fed or just be done with it completely. All of this is within the people's power to do.

The 'Hood in the Northern Wood
America's Great Political Unraveling

"Elections are supposed to provide ordinary citizens an opportunity to exert control over the direction of their government. In America, they feel like little more than an illusion of choice designed so that government may continue to exercise control over the citizens. The vast administrative State with its millions of employees making up and enforcing rules that directly affect citizens’ lives and property is the real government. The Intelligence Community and its not-so-secret domestic surveillance of Americans is the real government. The CIA’s Mockingbird Media peddling approved talking points and spreading false memes on the Leviathan’s behalf is the real government."
