After years of whining about how Republicans want to confuse voters, the NH Democrat Party has been slapped with a cease and desist order by the NH AG for…confusing and lying to voters.
The New Hampshire Department of Justice has slapped the state Democratic Party with a cease and desist order over mailers soliciting absentee ballot requests be sent to a non-existent government agency.
The mailers also contained false claims about voter histories, according to the order issued by Attorney General John Formella.
“In light of our conclusion that the NHDP has caused voter confusion given the incorrect return addresses to clerks on its mailers, the incorrect direction to non-existent ‘boards of election,’ and the incorrect voter domicile information, the NHDP is hereby ordered to cease and desist any and all activities which violate the law by causing voter confusion in the future,” Formella wrote.
NH Journal notes that the mailers had incorrect information for local town clerks, “incorrect return addresses and domicile information on mailers to 39 towns and cities” and referenced a Rockingham Board of Elections.” No such entity exists.
The Attorney General’s Office has ordered the Democratic state party to “notify each recipient of this mailer of the necessary remediation steps that they must take…and assist each recipient with explaining how they can obtain an absentee ballot prior to the General Election.” The NHDP has until the close of business Tuesday to present the Attorney General’s Office with a written plan to fix the mess.
The Dems are claiming it was a clerical mistake which is an excellent way to explain any voting irregularities they say we are not allowed to discuss. But challenging election results are at the center of every Democrat loss and a Constitutionally enumerated natural right. Free Speech. Okay, let’s say it wasn’t a repeat of the non-stop mailers fishing for mail-in ballots that besieged us in 2020.
A political party looking for votes in a primarily Republican County sends out thousands of these things hoping they can build a tiny wall to hold back the GOP wave everyone expects. But lust like how they run the government, they f**k it up.
When the government f’s something up, Democrats will try to make taxpayers eat the freight, but they can’t do that here. The NHDP will have to fix the problem with more expensive, massive mailers that will cost them a small fortune.
Money that they can’t spend on lying about Republicans or the Democrat agenda. But wait, there’s more!
Meanwhile, the AG’s office continues to “review the matter” of four illegal mailers sent by a Democratic mail shop into the Second Congressional District Republican primary. The mailers, which didn’t include any disclosure information about who paid for them or was responsible for their content, were sent to promote the candidacy of aggressively pro-Trump Republican Bob Burns. He narrowly defeated a more mainstream candidate, Keene Mayor George Hansel, by just 1,700 votes.
Maybe the NHDP should stay out of the mailer business, or was that just a clerical error too?
All this mail fraud is getting expensive and a drop in the bucket from 30,000 feet, but they did it to themselves. And best of all, it deliberately confuses voters, which, forever more, will serve as a riposte when they start yapping about Republicans and elections.
