The New Hampshire Supreme Court has agreed to assume jurisdiction over the voter registration dispute suspended by Judge john Lewis last week.
For the time being the law has been suspended and out of state students who wish to vote here, do not need to promise to establish domicile in the state by obtaining a drivers license and registering their cars here. We’ve covered my objections to this at great length already so I won’t revisit that here.
As far as the case goes this is an improvement over the previous situation. I have serious reservations about a decision rendered in the favor of Democrats, issued with such speed, by a judge who has donated to Democrats in the past and whose wife was, until recently, a large dollar democrat party donor. Moving to the NH Supreme court is a step up, or at least away from Durham where the political culture encourages this kind of out of state influence by out of state students more than able to vote absentee in their home towns.
