In a statement on Thursday, Trump praised “the great patriots” of Windham, a town of just under 15,000 residents whose 2020 election results for a state representative race, the governor's, and the race for U.S. senator are undergoing a hand count after a recount conducted on differences between vote totals.
“Congratulations to the great Patriots of Windham, New Hampshire for their incredible fight to seek out the truth on the massive Election Fraud which took place in New Hampshire and the 2020 Presidential Election,” Trump said in a statement posted on his new website. “The spirit for transparency and justice is being displayed all over the Country by media outlets which do not represent Fake News. People are watching in droves as these Patriots work tirelessly to reveal the real facts of the most tainted and corrupt Election in American history.”

Republican Gov. Chris Sununu signed legislation on April 12 ordering an examination of the ballot-counting machines and memory cards used during the 2020 general election in Windham, as well as a hand tabulation of ballots for the three races.

The attorney general and secretary of state selected Harri Hursti, a founding partner of security consulting firm Nordic Innovation Labs. The town’s select board chose Mark Lindeman, acting co-director of the Philadelphia-based election technology organization Verified Voting. Hursti and Lindeman selected Philip Stark, a statistician at the University of California, Berkeley.

"We will do our work in such a way that nobody will have to trust any of us," Stark said Wednesday. "They can look at what was done, rather than who did it."
Although some have challenged the board’s design, including Windham Selectmen Bruce Breton, the only one of four to vote against Lindeman.
Breton, who is reportedly a Trump supporter, unsuccessfully solicited his colleagues to reconsider the town's selection of Lindeman. Breton took issue with a letter, signed by Lindeman, challenging the need for a third audit of the presidential vote in Maricopa County, Arizona.
