The town of Sutton reported zero, but had 31 votes; the town of Greenville reported zero, but had 25 votes.

Election law |
NH |
|
Citizens can register at the polls. Anyone who can't provide proof of residence can sign an affidavit promising that he or she lives here. Voters who sign the affidavit can vote, and their ballots are placed in the ballot box with all the others - so they can't be argued about later in the event of a recount. This leaves the door open for voters to vote in a nearby state and then go to NH and vote there, too.
