CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Democrat Hillary Clinton has won New Hampshire’s four Electoral College votes.

Republican Donald Trump’s campaign had until 5 p.m. Monday to seek a recount. His campaign did not do so, officially sealing Clinton’s victory in the state.

Clinton won the small state by roughly 2,700 votes. That’s less than 1 percent of the 732,000 ballots cast.

New Hampshire drew intense attention from the two campaigns in the final days before the election.

Clinton campaigned in the state two days before the election and sent President Barack Obama on her behalf the next day. Trump visited the state twice in the final five days.

Trump’s edge in the Electoral College now stands at 290 to 232, with only Michigan still to be called by The Associated Press.

  1. Dammit, if it ends up being Florida that cost Dems the election again, I’m gonna be so pissed.

  2. Everyone else has called Michigan for Trump…I wonder what they’re doing there to delay it so long?

  3. Good, I didn’t want to boycott the White Mountains.

  4. They took just what they had to. And I do mean “took”. Check out gregpalast.com.

    I fault the Dems and their justice department for not being all over that voter purging and caging that lost not only the presidency but the senate. Fool me once (2000), shame on me. Fool me twice (Ohio 2004) shame on me. Fool me again in 2016? What is there to say?

    Palest isn’t some crank conspiracy theorist. He’s a damn good investigative reporter who’s specialized in American vote-rigging. But who listens? Now we’re reaping the whirlwind for not paying attention.

  5. The problem was (is!) that vote rigging and disenfranchising voters is not as ‘sexy’ as grabbing a woman by her p*ssy…and the media is just not going to ‘educate’ you…they don’t look at it as their ‘job’. What is heartening is Josh’s post about people signing up for TPM in the aftermath…I’d lay money it’s because they want facts and a good discussion.
