Jan. 9, 1975:

description

The two candidates in the still-undecided 1974 New Hampshire Senate race, Republican Louis Wyman and Democrat John Durkin, took their case before a Senate subcommittee. The N.H. Ballot Law Commission ruled that Wyman won the race by two votes, but Durkin appealed the decision to the entire Senate.

(With the Senate hopelessly deadlocked, a new election was called, for September 1975, which Durkin won.)

(P.S. Yes, I know, today would have been Richard Nixon's 96th birthday. But he got a "This Day" mention yesterday. Fair is fair.
