One Vote Decides NH Election

In the 1980 New Hampshire State Senate Republican Primary for District 16, incumbent Frank Wageman was in a tied election (2,438-2,438) after he was hospitalized and unable to cast his own vote. To settle the tie, two numbered balls were placed in a leather bottle, and the first one to roll out was the winner. Wageman’s ball came out first. #VotingMatters #2018Midterms #newhampshire
