New Hampshire: sources, checks and caveats

File: NH.csv (10 counties). New Hampshire reports by town/city/unincorporated place, and every town lies wholly in one congressional district. Town results are summed into counties. d is the Democratic candidate, r the Republican, and o all others (see the write-in caveat).

Sources

• 2022 (certified): NH Secretary of State official results, from the SOS-sourced NHPR/ElectionStats database (electiondatabase.nhpr.org). We used the City/Town rows; ward sub-rows were not used. The two files are:
• CD1: https://electiondatabase.nhpr.org/api/download_contest/154749_table.csv?split_party=true
• CD2: https://electiondatabase.nhpr.org/api/download_contest/154750_table.csv?split_party=true

The SOS's own page (https://www.sos.nh.gov/elections/2022-election-results/2022-general-election-results) returns HTTP 403 to automated clients. The NHPR totals match FEC exactly (see below). - 2026 (unofficial): the NH SOS had not posted 2026 general-election results as of Nov 9; its 2026 page lists only the candidate list and recount schedule. We used Associated Press town-level results, as embedded on NHPR's results page https://www.nhpr.org/elections/general-2026/results: - CD1: https://interactives.apelections.org/election-results/data-live/2026-11-03/results/races/NH/20261103NH30015/detail.json - CD2: https://interactives.apelections.org/election-results/data-live/2026-11-03/results/races/NH/20261103NH30017/detail.json - Party labels come from the metadata.json file next to each. The AP CDN refuses plain curl, so the files were fetched and summed in a browser page on that host. - As of: AP lastUpdated 2026-11-09T23:01:02Z for CD1 and 22:48:03Z for CD2 (6:01 pm / 5:48 pm ET), read about 6:05 pm ET. - Only AP town-level units (reportingunitLevel 2, 238 units) were summed. AP also publishes ward-level units for cities (level 3, 75 units), and these were excluded to avoid double counting. The town sums equal AP's district totals exactly. - Town→county mapping: - 2022: by town name, using Census 2020 county subdivisions (https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/reference/codes2020/cousub/st33_nh_cousub2020.txt). All 259 town/place rows matched; for example, Wentworth (Grafton) and Wentworth's Location (Coos) are kept distinct. - 2026: by AP's Census town FIPS code (townFIPSCode) looked up in the same Census file. All 238 units matched, and the county agreed with AP's own county FIPS.

Validation (sum of county rows)

• 2022 matches exactly.
• 2026 is −2,157 (D) and −436 (R) from the national aggregate. Our sums equal AP's own district totals at the timestamps above. The gap is between that reference and AP's feed at the time read, not a missing district: both districts and all AP town units are included.

Districts with no D or no R candidate

• 2022: none (CD1 Pappas/Leavitt, CD2 Kuster/Burns).
• 2026: none (CD1 Shaheen D / DiLorenzo R; CD2 Goodlander D / Tang Williams R).

Caveats

• Write-ins differ by year:
• 2022 o is the SOS "All Other Votes" (scattering/write-ins), 711 in total.
• 2026 o is only the listed independent in CD2 (Mahrou, 7,478). AP's NH feed carries no write-in line.
• CD1 2026 had only D and R on the ballot, so Strafford County (all CD1) shows o26 = 0.
• 2026 is AP unofficial (expected vote about 99%). SOS official returns and recounts may differ.
• No UOCAVA or statewide-only rows in either source. NH counts absentee ballots in the towns.
