MyPillow CEO's Push for Hand-Counting Ballots Largely Rejected in New Hampshire
- Effort to switch to hand-counting ballots in NH towns orchestrated by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell fell flat, with only 1 small town voting in favor
- Unfounded claims of widespread fraud with ballot-counting machines drove the push, but no evidence machines were hacked or tampered with
- Most NH town officials defended the security of the current system, saying machines are tested and counting process is open to public
- State law requires all votes be counted the same way, putting the Danville vote at risk of being invalidated
- Studies show machines are faster and more accurate than hand-counts; some officials use hand-counts only to verify machines worked properly
