The state Republican Party, alleging that its observers have been denied “reasonable access” to same-day registration tables statewide, today filed suit against the state.
“The problem is that our observers in the polling places have been denied reasonable access to the same-day registration tables,” said GOP attorney James Merrill.
“Manchester has been a problem, and it’s been statewide, and we’re trying to work through the confusion as to what’s permissible,” Merrill said. “We’re asking the court to grant us reasonable access to observe the process.”
Merrill said that polling is “public under the Right-to-Know Law and we need to be in a position to observe the process, and we’re trying to ge the court to acknowledge that.”
Merrill said a hearing is underway at this time at Hillsborough County Superior Court in Manchester.

Merrill said that reasonable access means “an ability to stand in a place to observe the registration process occurring. I’ve gotten feedback where we had people stationed 40 feet away from the registration table,” which he said is too far away to adequately observe the process.
Merrill said Judge Gillian Abramson is presiding at the hearing. He said attorney Charles Douglas is representing the GOP, Andru Volinsky is representing the Democratic Party and Anne Edwards of the Attorney General’s Office is representing the state.
