While Dan Richard has been fighting in having his NH Constitutional Right to serve a Remonstrance to the NH House and Senate, he has now embarked, on Constitutional grounds again, on the legality of using the 4-decade-old practice of using Dominion’s electronic voting machines over the 200+ year tradition of hand counting. In this hearing where he is seeking an injunction that would affect ballot counting for this Tuesday’s Primary Day here in NH, this is the first step to see if his case has “merit” – whether he has the legal horsepower to convince Judge Ruoff that he does have a valid argument to make. It was something to see the “NH Heavyweights” that are being sued over this: Secretary of State Doug Scanlon, and Associate Attorney General Anne Edwards sitting at the defendant’s table.
There was a kerfuffle before the hearing started as the Judge had put into place a mandatory mask order before the hearing. A few of the folks who came to support Dan refused and were removed from the courtroom, most complied (including me as I wasn’t going to travel this far and not get video to bring back to y’all).
NOTE: I was not allowed to set up my MEVO cameras – one for the Judge and one for the lawyers’ podium. The Judge’s mic mostly worked but the podium’s did not. Adding to that, I and the activist from NH Voice were herded into the last row. While the Ultra S22 camera had the better view (finding that out AFTER the hearing had started), my Canon with its Rode shotgun mic had the better sound. So, I’ll put up both and you get to decide which to watch: better video or better sound. See – choices!

Attorney General’s attorney responds to the same question spurring this thought:
So few people have never said so much in saying so very little at all. Worse than a Kamala word salad”.
