It's also possible that voters who ended up with the Republican ballot when they meant to vote in the Democrats' contest — or vice versa — wrote in a candidate in the other race, which could affect the final tally.
Hill sits along the Pemigewasset River across Interstate 93 from Laconia. Phillips' next-best showing was in Dorchester, New Hampshire, where he won 12 votes to Biden's 15, according to NBC News data.
Statewide, Phillips totaled about 20% of the vote.
