Breaking News: NH Judge Tosses Out Voter ID Law

September 26, 2018September 24, 2012 Steve MacDonald

This just in. Judge Lewis (the Fixer) in Strafford County Court, has caved to the League of Women Voters and other left wing interests and tossed the New Hampshire voter ID law under the bus.

I do not have the specifics of the decision, but it is already being challenged and will likely have go the State Supreme Court for further review.

At least one motion to intervene has been submitted and received (full text on the jump), and at least one additional challenge has been submitted as I write this.

This is still developing…

Representative Julie “The Mad Hatter” Brown, Strafford, District 1 is the RINO of the Year based on three separate polls!

: Representative Julie “The Mad Hatter” Brown, Strafford, District 1 RINO of the Year

I was certain when I started these polls that Ken Gould would win. But Julie Brown left Ken in the dust and was overwhelmingly chose by over 300 participants in the polls. In the coming days, I will be looking more closely at what drove the selection…But I have be honest…I would have selected her myself. Aside from other RINO’s, none has demonstrated such flippant arrogance and elitism as Julie Brown has.

Welcome to GraniteGrok 2.0!

September 26, 2018December 3, 2011 Skip

We opened the doors on GraniteGrok five years ago now – right near the “end of the beginning” part of time when the blogosphere really started to take off in popularity. At the time, when Doug and I agreed to start the site, I looked around for the most scalable and flexible platform I could and settled on Moveable Type 3.35. We customized it, learned some of its ins and outs, and it stood us in good stead for its time and its design capabilities.

Well, during the last year, it became clear that its shortcomings were becoming too long in the tooth to ignore. With almost 10,000 posts the Search had started to crawl, the back-end area in which we write our posts and do normal SysAdmin stuff was really behind the times; it was almost impossible to to keep up with “the latest and greatest” in social media….you get the picture. I will tell you, though, letting go of the old site was hard to do (given all the work I did over the years on it), but the other Groksters convinced me (er, near to a mutiny???) it was time. So we started in.
