The Democrats and D friendly judges keep rendering the Legislature’s attempts to tighten up our own NH State’s voting laws so as to make sure only those that are entitled to vote here in NH actually cast votes and it all centers around the word “domocile”. Not going to recap all that’s been written here except to say when I read what is going on in Minnesota, I immediate thought of it. Same thing, differently – except there it is about letting felons vote (emphasis mine, reformatted):
Minnesota Secretary of State and county election managers are being sued by election judges who claim the 2016 Minnesota Election Judge Guide requires them to violate state election laws. The lawsuits were filed today in Hennepin, Ramsey and St. Louis Counties by three election judges who are requesting an injunction relieving them from having to provide ballots to people who are listed as felons, people under guardianship and noncitizens.
***
State law establishes a detailed procedure to match felons, people under guardianship and noncitizens against the list of people who have registered to vote in the statewide voter registration system. In the case of a match, county auditors are required to change the voter status of any registered voters who are determined to be felons, under guardianship or noncitizens.But according to instructions from the Secretary of State, election officials must allow felons, people under guardianship and noncitizens who are identified as such on the poll roster to vote anyway, so long as they take an oath claiming they are eligible to vote.
So the MN SoS issued this lawless guide? Remember the SOS Project (Secretary of State)? I do remember we covering it here at the ‘Grok but I can’t find it now (I guess we lost it when we redid the site). Anyways from Discover the Networks:
- Worked to help Democrats get elected to the office of Secretary of State in selected swing, or battleground, states
- Received funding from Democracy Alliance members George Soros and Rob Stein, among many others
It is thought that Al Franken’s first Senate win was directly attributable to this project given its tightness and the SoS making “the final decisions on ballots”. While the project formally went moribund a few years ago, is this a stealth result of it – circumventing actual law?
