These are the results of the elections for Milford NH for the Presidential elections held November 3, 2020. There were 12,309 people on the checklist at the beginning of the day, 791 newly registered voters were added during the day, resulting in 13,100 registered voters on the checklist at the end of the day. There were 9259 ballots cast, for a voter turnout of 70.6%.
The election was held at Milford High School instead of at Milford Middle School as is usual due to the extra space needs resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. The election ran very smoothly despite the extra precautions that were taken during the day. There was a big line of perhaps 400 people at 6 am when the polls opened, and it took more than an hour for the line to be processed. After that time, the wait was typically no longer than about 15 minutes for voters.
There were about 3,000 absentee voters during the election instead of a more typical 700 absentee voters for a Presidential election. New processes were set up to handle the increase absentee voter returns, and it went very smoothly.
The new ePollBooks were continued to be used for checking in voters, and this seemed to speed up the process considerably. Our use of them is still considered to be a formal test as they have not yet been approved by the Secretary of State. RSA changes are required to get the state laws to match the process that is used to process them. The processes that do not comply with state law have been approved by the Secretary of State. The most consequential variance is that state law requires that there be high speed printers on hand to be able to quickly reprint the updated checklist from a spreadsheet that is being constantly updated. That does not really work, so instead the process is to manually update the checklist on an ongoing basis using the printed receipts from the ePollBook system.
