Any member of the public may attend an election recount in Concord and visually review all the ballots cast. Yet these same members of the public may NOT file a Right to Know request to review those same ballots.
Update: When the Windham Board of Selectmen attempted to open the meeting, the zoom capacity was maxed out, causing the discussion on the election audit and SB43 to be rescheduled for March 1, 2021, at 7p.
After November’s general election, Democrat Kristi St. Laurent requested a recount of the Windham State Representative race. The November 12 hand recount produced a 300-vote increase for all 4 Republican candidates and a 99-vote decrease for her. The recount didn’t change the outcome, but no one could explain the huge 6% increase in Republican votes … Read more
A few days ago, Skip posted about an effort to impeach Chris Sununu: My response is: What the hell is there to investigate? The GOP “leaders” of the House and Senate should simply tell Chris to end his junk-science state-of-emergency (the purpose of which is to promote and advance the Chris Sununu brand, not to … Read more
People get passionate. I get it. But sometimes the passion builds to a point where it clouds senses and abilities to see things clearly. I believe this has happened in the race for the GOP Primary for the Executive Council District 5 seat that Dave Wheeler and Bob Clegg are vying for. I know and … Read more
From March 15th, days after the government restrictions went into crisis mode to May 9th, the latest reporting date at the NHES website, approximately 139,400 NH residents became unemployed. Based on our February workforce of about 780,200, that is just under an 18% unemployment level.
Michael Kitch’s November 22, 2019 article in the NH Business Review; “Taking on NH’s housing ‘crisis’ – Task force’s recommendations ‘a long time coming’” praises the Governor’s new plan to manage housing in NH. The plan is not an enhancement of local control, but a gross usurpation of it.
Eddie Edwards lost to Chris Pappas in the 2018 mid-term congressional election. It was the first race in a long while in NH CD-1, where we didn’t have a Guinta or a Shea-Porter from which to choose. But as January approaches Edwards has not signaled a public interest in a do-over.
New Hampshire Democrats are proposing a new scheme to steal 800 million dollars from Granite Staters (annually) under the banner of climate change. It will change “the climate.” The economic climate, oh, and your lifestyle, but it will have zero impact on the planet.
Did you know that September is “better breakfast” month? What if you don’t eat breakfast? It is the month of 10 different observances or awareness campaigns and 11 foods. They are Bourbon, wine, chicken, honey, mushrooms – which together sound like an appetizer at any number of restaurants trying to up their foodie cred. September is … Read more

The 603 Alliance released the results of an online straw poll yesterday and overall New Hampshire’s Establishment Republicans took a beating. Before I examine the results individually, please understand that the voting was done via email using a unique password access for each email address in the distribution list. The participants are individuals who signed up to receive … Read more
As the discussion over Andy Sanborn’s Q Score heats up, I can’t help being reminded of Pete Rose, who — despite his singular accomplishments as a player — remains ineligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame. To paraphrase former major league outfielder Jim Dwyer: The Hall of Fame is for baseball players. Heaven is for … Read more
Take a look at some of the more interesting parts of the 2014 Guare v. NH case that was meant to codify out-of-state, unqualified voter’s participation in New Hampshire elections. You can see how this case, in my opinion, was never meant to be won by “our side.” My comments are in parenthesis. Supreme Court … Read more
I’ve been asked on a number of occasions to run for the NH House of Representatives and have turned them down because of work responsibilities. There was just no way to be able to keep my job AND do the job of a NH Rep correctly and fully. Plus, for full disclosure, when I ran … Read more
The New Hampshire house took up HCR 11 today, A Resolution urging a pardon of Gerald “Jerry” DeLemus. Why? The court tossed out the government’s case because it (basically) hid evidence and lied. Gerry is only sitting in prison because the prosecutor badgered him into a plea deal before that ruling was ever made and he … Read more

Yesterday the New Hampshire House had the opportunity to vote on HB478, an unnecessary piece of legislation that purported to create rights for people who already had them. What it actually did was advance the Democrat-Socialist deconstruction of sexuality by making it illegal to dismiss men from any accommodation on public or private property that previously … Read more
There are hearings today on HB 587 (gender transition) and HB 478 (discrimination based on gender identity). The former is a bad bill from last year recycled. The latter could result in your daughters, sisters, or wives having to share bathrooms and locker rooms with guys claiming to be girls. Cornerstone Policy Research has some points … Read more
Yesterday it was HB350. Today HB 201, AN ACT requiring background checks for commercial firearms sales. To quote Representative John Burt, Through this conflated language, this bill would shut down firearm sales and training in New Hampshire by making the process so complicated and expensive that none could comply. That was the point of the legislation!
