Under the current unconstitutional “state law” a non-resident voter can give a “domicile address” for voting while his out of state “residence” remains exempt from New Hampshire’s RSA 91-A Right to Know Law.
So, a college student using a dormitory as a “voting domicile” and who also pays out-of-state tuition to one of NH’s state colleges can give the bulk mail address of the college as his “voting domicile.”
The same out-of-state student cannot legally sign a notarized state college domicile form to receive in-state tuition without the potential of the state college penalizing that student if it is discovered he is not domiciled in NH.
Make sense? Election officials in NH think so.
On the other hand.
A Qualified NH Citizen Voter has his lawful domicile open to public disclosure.
A qualified NH citizen voter cannot choose to give an address which cannot be traced to avoid public disclosure – as a non-resident college student using a dormitory and bulk mail address can – by court fiat, not by law.
Take current, registered, Keene voter, Colgan Liam O’Connor, who was arrested in Keene earlier this year after voting from a dormitory at Keene State College. It is a “special privilege” as stated on the NH SoS web site.
His address on the current Keene checklist is simply, “Owls Nest.”
When arrested for DUI he gave his legal address, the one found on his Connecticut driver’s license, as Hopkins Court, Bethel, CT. (I assume he was driving when arrested for DUI in NH. But who knows.)
In Connecticut residency is defined for driving purposes as,
3. CONNECTICUT RESIDENCY:

Parents or legal guardian of minor (under 18) may provide any two of the foregoing documents addressed to the parent residing at same address to prove minor residency, or use their own CT driver license or ID which shows the same address as one of the two required.
Since Connecticut is a Motor Voter state, people applying for a driver’s license are offered an opportunity to register to vote. Colgan wanted to vote here where his vote counted more than it would in Ct.
The unconstitutional Superior Court case, Guare v. NH, and the lack of any investigation or prosecution by the NH AG is the current method for letting him get away with it.
Other states are watching now.
