Any student over 18 has the right to vote, assuming they’ve not done something to lose that right. In New Hampshire, Student Voting Rights translate as follows: out-of-state students attending college in New Hampshire have more voting rights than actual residents.
Newly Minted New Hampshire State Senator Victoria Sullivan has a bill before the Senate that would prohibit student ID as proof of residency for voting purposes. SB223 had its first hearing yesterday morning, and it did not lack for naysayers, especially since the bill had a hook. This bill provides for in-state tuition at any … Read more
The November 2022 midterm elections are fading into history, but the problems with how New Hampshire carries them out have not. The law is not only unfair, but it also creates rights for out-of-state college kids that actual NH residents do not have.
The ongoing debate about who gets a vote in New Hampshire has found its way into the pages of the Boston Globe. The issue is the law versus the lawsuit. But it was the headline that caught my eye. “Ahead of N.H. primary, new voter residency requirements lead to confusion on campus.”
Growing up homeschooled in New Hampshire meant that after I learned my “ABC’s” and “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” my parents quickly taught me the “Preamble Song” by Schoolhouse Rock!. If you’re not familiar with it, the song is – as the title suggests—the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution set to a catchy tune. As the … Read more
Every now and again, I wander over to one or the other of the local (college) student newspapers. These things are treasure troves of material, and it’s been a while since I did. With Thanksgiving on our doorstep, I went fishing for woke BS. I didn’t find any, which was disappointing. There were no Friendsgiving … Read more
For the past few elections, a pair of radical Democrats in my town have been running “together.” They are sign-sharing. Both names, one slogan: vote for us—people over politics (so, not true). That’s already a lie. With rare exceptions, Democrats, especially in New Hampshire, vote as a caucus. They don’t get to decide, and when … Read more
A White Tower stooge has published an article in the New York Times suggesting that America might be better off if it bailed on the popular vote. Given the recent trajectory, who could blame anyone for thinking that?
Effectively, NH State Rep Mike Bordes is SCREAMING: PARENTS – Your children belong to Government!! SCREW YOU, PARENTS! And the vote is this Thursday (according to the House Republican Leadership, from what I’ve been told). Here’s the floor amendment that will be put forward by him, via a different State Rep, for the vote on … Read more
Record out-of-state student voter turnout on November 8th may have been the straw that broke this camel’s back. Yes, I’ve been complaining about it for years and making a decent case (I think), but it’s time to get relentless.
I was a registered Democrat until 2019. I became independent after Congresswoman Ann Kuster made a call to ABC/Good Morning America to block female news reporter Amy Robach’s interview with Owen Labrie from airing.
Miles Brown (CT) and Nicolas Macri (TX) are out-of-state students attending Dartmouth College. They also signed up to run for one of four NH House seats in Grafton County Dist. 12. With six candidates vying for those four seats, Democrats decided to kick the Dartmouth kids to the curb.
Not often do I say that NH ought to be doing something just because another State is. WE are NH – not some other State. Our culture (until the Progressives came rolling into NH in big numbers) is different, our outlook is different, our sense of volunteerism is different – we all could mention a … Read more
It was a Dartmouth student voter “indefinite intention” case challenging Hanover’s so-called requirement of students to affirm they were going to stay in NH after voting. A foolish question to ask a voter. They should have asked for proof of domicile. But that was not the agenda.
Despite staunch and consistent opposition of student representatives from the city’s high schools, the Manchester Board of School Committee voted to add student representatives to their ranks.
New Hampshire Democrats have been telling anyone that will listen that Republicans are suppressing student votes. That was always a lie, as we’ve explained here as recently as this morning, but they took their latest tirade to court anyway and lost. Or should I say, had to walk away?
So last night I posted about how Jeanne Shaheen is filibustering the very Coronavirus-relief bill she helped negotiate and write … because Nancy Pelosi decided to use the present and rapidly-growing economic crisis to pass a wish-list of Democrat legislation. When you see what the Democrats want added to the Coronavirus bill, your draw will … Read more
The most common narrative plied by the left on the matter of ‘voting rights’ in New Hampshire goes like this. It’s too confusing. College students face confusion. College students are unsure. And it is always Democrat students that are confused.
Who would have ever thought that left-wing Merrimack Democrat Rosemarie Rung, would claim to be a tax fighter? A defender of your hard-earned dollar. An advocate for property rights of New Hampshire taxpayers.
This: From the linked op-ed: The ACLU is arguing that the law is too confusing to implement in upcoming elections, including the presidential primary in February, and they’re right. Agencies that should be able to explain just what the law does or does not do, including the Secretary of State’s Office and the Division of … Read more
