Fulchino: Small Town Problem – Statewide Solution

New Hampshire voter rolls were a mess. As evidenced by 250,000 names having to be removed in early 2021. With close to 1 in 4 names not belonging on our lists, it was time to take a deep dive. But not just at the state level. But locally as well. Four Hollis, NH, residents did … Read more

MacDonald: This Governor Is Not Interested in The Redistricting War

There is a voting rights suit moving up and down the judicial ladder in the Granite State.

Opinion: Election Integrity Advocates Score Big Win in NH

A small group of residents in Hollis, NH, has been reviewing the town’s voter rolls and believes they may be overinflated.

Smith: Counseling For That Narcissism, Rep Ming?

Delusions of grandeur are high on the diagnostic checklist for Narcissism.  Just look at the DSM-3-R or any other authority on such matters.  Former Rep Ming has shown similar behaviors during last year’s campaign season, such as claiming to be the first Asian rep when it simply wasn’t true.  Now he’s outdone himself in his … Read more

Gauthier: Ayotte Slams the Door

Illegal Alien Drivers’ Licenses No Good in New Hampshire Kelly Ayotte just made it crystal clear: if you’re in this country illegally and holding one of those feel-good, law-dodging licenses from Vermont or California, you better keep on driving, right out of New Hampshire. She signed the bill. She dropped the gavel. And with that … Read more

Murray: Welcome to the Granite State Gong Show

If you thought New Hampshire politics couldn’t get any messier, buckle up, because the Hantz Marconi case is proving that the state’s so-called “justice” system is less Lady Justice and more Jerry Springer.
