The voter registration laws in New Hampshire are, and have been, at best, illogical, and contradictory at worst. Putting aside for the moment the idiocy of having same-day registration and “open” primaries in which voters not registered to a particular political party can obtain a ballot and vote in a primary of whatever political party … Read more
Tell me what you think about this. Members of the US Census ‘Community Engagement Team’ are reaching out to parents of college students. Why? To tell them not to count their college-age kids at their home when they fill out the census just because they are home from school because of COVID-19.
This: Here is the link to the decision, which is a joke. If you want to see a liberal-activist judge ply his trade, give it a read. But all I think you need to know in order to know why it is once again legal for someone to show up in New Hampshire at a … Read more
Just about anyone can run for one of the 400 seats in the New Hampshire House. But you have to have been a resident of New Hampshire for at least two years. A former President of the Dartmouth Democrats says he’s running. But is the Sophomore from New York City even eligible?
About two months ago, I posted DemocRATS May Very Well Succeed in Negating New Hampshire’s Voter-Residency Requirement. This is not an instance where I enjoy saying “told you so,” but I told you so. To recap, the prior Legislature passed … and Governor Sununu eventually signed … HB 1264 a measure to redress out-of-State college … Read more
This: … and this: The law in New Hampshire is that by voting (declaring domicile) in New Hampshire, any nonresident … INCLUDING COLLEGE STUDENTS … has declared residency in New Hampshire. In other words, college students attending school in New Hampshire can vote in New Hampshire elections, BUT if they do they have made themselves … Read more
So yesterday I posted N.H. Democrats Lying – Telling Nonresidents They Can Vote In N.H. and Remain Nonresidents. The post was about a tweet from Executive Council candidate, DemocRAT Cindy WORMington AND THE LINK IN HER TWEET: This: And this … from the website of the New Hampshire DemocRAT Party … is what WORMington is … Read more
This: And this is what WORMington is linking to: This is a LIE. As I explained in a previous post about the law (HB 1264) that made the act of voting in New Hampshire (declaring domicile in New Hampshire) a declaration of residency in New Hampshire, subjecting the voter to all of the responsibilities of … Read more
There is a lawsuit in the Federal District Court of New Hampshire called Caroline Casey et al. vs. New Hampshire Secretary of State et al. The real plaintiffs (party bringing the lawsuit) are the New Hampshire Democrat Party and its litigation-arm, the New Hampshire ACLU (hereinafter DemocRATS). The subject of the lawsuit is a clean-election … Read more
Back in late October, the town clerk in Hanover, New Hampshire, made the news. According to The Dartmouth, the college campus newspaper, she said a new residency law does not impede the voting process for college students. But in a court filing to overturn the law, she is confused.
Democrats created dual-status status rights in NH or voting purposes but only for out-of-staters. If you are in NH on election day but live in another state, feel free to vote there or here. Actual residents can’t do that but a law to end the practice is called vote-suppression.
This yesterday from Ray Buckley’s numero-uno go-to-guy in the local “press” … WMUR’s Johnny D as in Johnny DISHONEST (aka #FatLazyAndBiased).
A little Pink Floyd the Wall vibe working here as Secretary of State Bill Gardner testified before a State Senate Committee. The short version is this. Leave the election laws alone.
Project Veritas is back in New Hampshire doing something the NH AG’s Office “Elections Division” hates. James O’Keefe and his journalists are videotaping and exposing voter fraud. It exposes the “Elections Division” of the NH AG’s Office for what they are – political hacks. For decades we have put up with the nonsensical position that … Read more
Here is the least laughable part of the NHACLU “suit” against NH voters. I have copied a paragraph of it here without citation and page break: “HB 1264 is unconstitutional under at least three different theories. First, HB 1264 violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution under the Anderson/Burdick, framework in that … Read more
Essentially admitting Democrats would have trouble winning statewide elections without thousands of out-of-state college students, the NH-ACLU has found two foolish Dartmouth students to be litigants in a suit to end the practice of NH voters having to choose NH as their lawful domicile.
CONCORD, NH- House Republican Leader Dick Hinch (R-Merrimack) released the following statement in response to public hearings held Thursday on HB105, relative to domicile residency, voter registration, and investigation of voter verification letters and HB106, relative to the terms “resident,” “inhabitant,” “residence,” and “residency.” “HB106 seeks to repeal common sense legislation that the State just … Read more
Earlier I pointed out that the high penalty for violating SB3 is $5000 which is being used as an argument against allowing the law to come into force (“The $5,000 fine is financially crushing to college students“). This was pointed out as part of the Democrat testimony against SB3 (reformatted, emphasis mine):
Recent UNH graduate Doug Marino, now working as a volunteer in the Congressional campaign of Democrat Chris Pappas, testified as to his experience in recruiting student voters on campus. “I believe it (SB3) will deter students from voting. College students as it is are extremely busy, particularly first-year students, who are in a new place or on their own for the first time,” he said. “Even those who may want to register to vote may be wary of doing so if they have to sign a document that could potentially carry legal penalties.”
Especially if they are lying?
In an article on the Democrats using Lawfare to make sure ANYONE can vote here in NH (and probably feel that NH residents shouldn’t), this caught my eye:
The provisions of SB 3, however, require new voters to prove they either live in New Hampshire, or are domiciled in New Hampshire. Domicility is the concept used in New Hampshire law to describe out-of-state college students who attend school in New Hampshire, and are legally allowed to vote in Granite State elections. If those new voters lack the required documents, such as a utility bill or a letter from their college stating where they live for the school year, they will have 10 days after the election to provide the documents to avoid potential criminal penalties.
Meyer testified that the bill seemed designed to keep college students from voting, especially due to the potential fines of up to $5,000.
“The $5,000 fine is financially crushing to college students,” he said.
ISN’T THAT THE POINT! Make the consequence of a stupid decision really, really bad? Maybe keep them from the abject perp-walk of shame for sticking it to the Republicans (on a lark, even)?
The lunacy involving NH permitting illegal, out-of-state voting which has continued because there seems to be a complete misunderstanding of how laws work, and what words mean. I can’t even begin to imagine how people in charge of New Hampshire’s election laws read a court case. There is solid proof they only accept parts of decisions.
Here is an article former newspaper reporter Drew Cline wrote which includes some interesting observations of our election laws – by Secretary of State William Gardner. He claims our election laws permit illegal voting – which is hard to comprehend. The article: September 24. 2014 8:57 PM.
