Recount reverses Nashua state rep race results


CONCORD — The recount of ballots in Hillsborough District 28 (Nashua Ward 1) has Republican incumbent Elizabeth Ferreira beating Democrat Sylvia Gale by six votes, a reversal of the election night results.

The election night total had Gale winning the third of three representative spots for the Nashua ward, with 2,419 votes to Ferreira’s 2,413.

But the recount, the last of 14 conducted in state representative races, gave Ferreira a six-vote margin of victory, 2,240-to-2,414.

Some of the ballots are expected to be challenged before the Ballot Law Commission on Monday, which will also review the results of a close representative race in Ward 5, Manchester, where the recount flipped the result from Democrat Andrew Gregoire, to Republican Lisa Freeman.

If the Ferreira and Freeman victories hold, the GOP majority in the House will grow by one, from 225 to 226.

Of the 14 state representative recounts, three resulted in changes from election night results.
