Well before 2020, a host of non-partisan citizens committed to voter integrity found each other in a spirit of civic duty as directed under our NH Constitution. As our ranks and trust grew, so did our efforts and work, resulting in citizen audits demonstrating significant and ongoing violations of best practices outlined in the Sec. of State Voting Procedure Manual.
Including a Pro Se’ NH Constitutional lawsuits/challenges, one of which is currently before the NH Supreme Court (Daniel Richard-V- Gov. Sununu en el case ’# 2023-0097)
Many of these formal and informal complaints have been filed before the Ballot Law Commission (appears to consist of 11 out of 12 NH attorneys – NO citizens – what could go wrong here) and NH Attorney General Formella to yet no avail. A majority of citizens now believe law enforcement and Sec. of State Scanlan are utilizing delay tactics to allow claims to expire under the statute of limitations. Justice delayed is not justice served.
Yet the most destructive piece of this long-term and ongoing deception is orchestrated by two chairmen of, ironically, the House Election Law and Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs Committees. Many are now convinced after years of inaction and now clear, outright coordinated deception. (HB154 Health Care bill turned in a non-germane voting machine bill via sleight of hand –in not allowing true/ honest public debate). Senator Gray and Rep. Ross Berry have violated their sworn oath of office, usurped our NH citizen’s civil rights, as well as failed to protect our sovereign and sacred voting rights.

To bring some more depth to these claims, please ask Rep Ross Berry why, over the last four years, citizens, through their elected reps, have submitted over # 80 plus LSR/ Bills before his committee. Only to be marked with his infamous “ITL” recommendation (inability to Legislate). After review, it appears no less than just a few citizen bills under “ ITL” Rep Ross Berry’s leadership made it out of his committee. Yet if you’re the Sec. of State, your success before this committee is close to 100%
Now let’s pile on – add insult to the tax payer and citizen’s injury. While most citizens are working two jobs trying to pay their property taxes, food, education, etc., most are unable to attend committee hearings during the weekday from 9-5. While we are out working, just like in DC, a well-funded group of lobbyists paid for by us ( dues from town taxes) – in many cases fight against our best interests. (see Municipal Assoc. representing Town Moderators, Clerks, Selectman, and Town Attorneys alike). Ask Senator Gray if they lobbied him on HB 154.
GREAT NEWS: A revolt by 162 of our elected reps led By Rep Nikki McCarter and others in the house voted recently to send HB 154 back to a “committee of conference” to expose the sham and fix it. It failed, but hope is Eternal!
Despite the apparent silence and fear of traditional NH newspaper journalists to expose, as well as the history of lawyers (afraid for their careers) to represent “We the People” voting rights in court, you/we must now be stepping up in every town meeting, doing our civic duty. In doing so, we are teaching our children and grandchildren how to fight for our most precious and sovereign right to free, fair elections, where every vote is counted as authorized by our NH Constitution ( Part II Art:32).
In closing please ask your legislators if they were one of the Honorable 162, who stood up for your Civil Rights, Transparency & Voting Rights.
Shame on the rest!
