Since Wednesday's tie, there's been no change in the winner of any recounted race. The two recounts on Saturday morning were stopped midway after candidates rescinded their recount requests. #NHPolitics

Over the weekend the @NH_DOJ filed in support of the @NHSecretary’s objection to @NHDems attempt to stop the resumption of the Manchester W6 @NHHouseofReps seat recount, which flipped the Election Day outcome by 1 vote #NHPolitics #WMUR

Memorandum from @NH_DOJ: "...the Plaintiffs want this Court to disenfranchise New Hampshire voters in the name of “finality” and “fair elections” to preserve an administrative error in a recount rather than allow the process to continue..." #NHPolitics

.@NHSecretary's theory of what happened in the recount: "Given that two candidates’ vote totals fell by 18 and 22, the Secretary of State determined that it was likely that one stack of uncounted ballots... was inadvertently included in a stack of counted ballots." #NHPolitics

This is the state's rationale for allowing the recount to continue -- saying it never really ended in the first place: "A failure to count all Election Day cast ballots necessarily means that the recount function was not concluded." #NHPolitics

I just spoke with @NHSecretary, who says he is postponing the continuation of the Manchester Ward 6 @NHHouseofReps recount until tomorrow, time TBD, to allow the legal process to play out today. #NHPolitics #WMUR
