Unusual Facts
Representative John A. Durkin disputed the results of the 1974 Senate election under which the New Hampshire Ballot Commission declared Representative Louis C. Wyman victorious by two votes. After two months of considering the case, the Senate declared the seat vacant, and the state held a new election, which Durkin won.
