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 bunch of things that are different here. Which, of course, makes us “not a cookie cutter stamp out” State. Except for voting. In this, we are TRULY unique in that this State just can’t seem to get it’s act together on who can vote and who can’t
Certainly the Democrats here in State have really led the work to allow ANYONE to come in here to vote, but still.
Here from the comments is Commenter Bryan W with what his daughter went through:
My daughter had to become a resident of Utah in order to qualify for in-state tuition. In order to become a resident, one of the things she had to do was obtain a state issued ID and if she owned a vehicle, register it in UT (she didn’t). In order to obtain a state-issued ID, she needed to prove she lived in Utah and nowhere else – deed, mortgage, lease of 6 months (1 year?) or longer, or proof of having had them for the 6 months (or is it 1 year?) prior – which is difficult but not impossible for a student. This allowed her to register to vote. Another thing you had to do was pay resident income taxes (I don’t recommend that in NH). It took 18 months to qualify for in-state tuition.
Utah’s system is relatively easy and reasonable. NH should adopt similar objective tests. The definition of “domicile” is wide open to bad interpretation.
Indeed. The Democrats know, however, that as soon as the voting process is tightened up (not the ability to vote, just get rid of all this jimcrackery crap from the WuFlu pandemic that makes it easy to vote anonymously or illegally, they’ll start loosing.
And they know it and by such strenuous kvetching about “restricting voting rights”, we know it as well.
Tell’em to stuff it.
