Project Veritas showed the “seams” of the voting system here in NH could easily lead to Voter Fraud – and bloody hell broke out from the entrenched Political Class that for years sternly told us time after time after time that such a thing could not or would not happen (as if we were mere children sitting behind our wooden desks being given our lessons).
Well, that was for voters, but what about the flip side – those running the voting?
So, who is this guy and what is he trying to accomplish? The answer is that this is the Bedford School District Clerk, 11/1/2003, who set up a polling place at the dump to give out absentee ballots to “enhance” the vote on a school bond. Why the outpost at the dump? In order to get the “privilege” of spending other peoples’ money, they needed > 50% of the voters to turn out to a special meeting so he was letting people “vote” at the dump. He has a checklist on the table in front of him.
The AG “investigated” and said it was “highly irregular but not unlawful.” Irregular, eh? It violated multiple state statutes:
Here is the first paragraph of the statute Bedford was trying to beat by ginning up the vote having a polling station at the dump handing out absentee ballots. They were afraid they would not meet the 50% (thus the dump voting)”
197:3 Raising Money at Special Meeting.
I. (a) No school district at any special meeting shall raise or appropriate money nor reduce or rescind any appropriation made at a previous meeting, unless the vote thereon is by ballot, nor unless the ballots cast at such meeting shall be equal in number to at least 1/2 of the number of voters of such district entitled to vote at the regular meeting next preceding such special meeting; and, if a checklist was used at the last preceding regular meeting, the same shall be used to ascertain the number of legal voters in said district; and such checklist, corrected according to law, may be used at such special meeting upon request of 10 legal voters of the district. In case an emergency arises requiring an immediate expenditure of money, the school board may petition the superior court for permission to hold a special district meeting, which, if granted, shall give said district meeting the same authority as an annual district meeting.
When you have a polling station with a sign that says: Vote Here Today, you need to follow:
197:5 Warning. – School district meetings shall be warned by the school board, or, in cases authorized by law, by a justice of superior court, by a warrant addressed to the voters of the district, stating the time and place of the meeting and the subject matter of the business to be acted upon. In all districts which have not adopted the provisions of this title providing for medical inspection in schools the warrant shall contain an article relating thereto.
197:7 Posting Warrant. – The school board or justice issuing a warrant shall cause an attested copy of it to be posted at the place of meeting, and a like copy at one other place in the district, 14 days before the day of meeting, not counting the day of posting nor the day of the meeting, but including any Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays within said period.
197:8 Special Meetings. – The school board when calling a special meeting shall, within one week after posting the warrant therefor, cause a copy of said warrant to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in said district.
197:10 Return; Record. – The warrant, with a certificate thereon, verified by oath, stating the time and places when and where copies of it were posted, shall be given to the clerk of the district at or before the time of the meeting, and shall be recorded by the clerk in the records of the district.
197:19 Moderator. – The moderator shall have the like power and duty as a moderator of a town meeting to conduct the business and to preserve order, and in the conduct of a school district meeting, all the statutory duties, powers and authority granted to town moderators, and may administer oaths to district officers and in the district business.
669:26 Absentee Voting. – Every town which has adopted an official ballot system for town elections as provided in RSA 669:12 or 669:13 shall provide for absentee voting. Any eligible voter who is absent from such a town on the day of a town election, or who cannot appear in public on election day because of his or her observance of a religious commitment, or who, by reason of physical disability, is unable to vote in person may vote at a town election in accordance with the provisions of this section and RSA 669:27-669:29. A person who is unable to appear at any time during polling hours at his or her polling place because an employment obligation requires the person to remain physically at work or to be in transit to or from work from the time the polls open until after the time the polls close shall be considered absent for purposes of this section and RSA 669:27-669:29.
671:21 Absentee Voting. –
I. A school district shall provide for absentee voting in the same manner as towns as provided in RSA 669:26-669:29 except that all duties performed therein by the town clerk shall be performed by the school district clerk.
II. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph I, if any school district votes to elect its district officers by separate ballot at the town election as provided in RSA 671:22, II, then for either the town election or the school district election an application for an absentee ballot shall be sufficient in order to receive an absentee ballot for both the town election and the school district election. If a town adopts the provisions of RSA 671:22, II, all forms relative to applications for absentee ballots, all absentee ballots, and all returns of absentee ballots shall be made only available at and only returnable to, as applicable, the office of each town clerk of each town comprising the school district.
III. Each town clerk shall make facilities in the town clerk’s office available for the school district clerk to perform school district functions in connection with absentee voting. It shall be the duty of the school district clerk to post a notice at the school district clerk’s office informing voters that all absentee voting procedures for school district elections shall be handled only through the town clerk’s office.
How many towns have put their Town Clerk’s office at The Dump?!?!?!
