CONCORD - An audit from the Secretary of State's Office has found that a typo led to a Maggie Hassan victory in the town of Columbia.
Following General Election night, the Secretary of State's Office originally reported that U.S. Senate candidate Maggie Hassan received 1,106 votes in the town of Columbia, Coos County, based on information submitted on the official "Return of Votes" form. The reported number far exceeded the number of ballots actually cast in the town. The Secretary of State has confirmed with the town clerk of Columbia that Senator Hassan only received 106 votes on election night.
The original figure entered was a simple typo.
Senator Hassan's adjusted vote total for Coos County is 6,059 while Republican candidate Donald Bolduc received a total of 6,491 votes. Hassan remains the winner of the U.S. Senate race.
