We are slipping, folks. Most of us have been proud to live in the state with this distinctive motto. But, is that all it was meant to be…a motto? Let’s talk about this.
Drivers License
So Kids, What Did We Learn From Thursday’s House Session (1/4/24)?
We learned that today we were able to finish up all of the leftover 2023 retained House bills and were successful in passing some really good bills… and killed some bad ones, too. It was a good two days!
Are Driver’s Licenses Being Scanned Illegally in New Hampshire?
Since writing the first article, Are Convenience Stores Violating Your Privacy, I have been gathering more information and find the Driver License Scanning issue to be quite the bottomless rabbit hole.
Are Convenience Stores Violating Your Privacy?
If you shop at convenience stores, you may have noticed that checking for proof of age during tobacco & alcohol purchases has quietly moved from viewing the customer’s driver’s license to electronically scanning our licenses. I first noticed this at Circle K stores and then found the same practice in others.
Poll: Should NH Require a Photo ID to Vote? [Vote Now, Poll Ends at Midnight]
This seems like a no-brainer of a poll question for this audience, but it seems like a good idea. SB3 was recently thrown out (for good and bad), while states nationwide are wrestling with ensuring election integrity. ID is an important part of the puzzle.
Nashua: ID Is Needed to Reactivate My Library Card, but Not to Vote?
Last week I went into the Nashua library to see some reference material. I walked in free-faced and was not given a hard time though they have a doorman at a desk with a box of single-use masks and a hand sanitizer pump. Of course, there was plexiglass everywhere.
Democrat Challenge to NH Voting Requirement Collapses as Dartmouth Students Drop Lawsuit
New Hampshire Democrats have been telling anyone that will listen that Republicans are suppressing student votes. That was always a lie, as we’ve explained here as recently as this morning, but they took their latest tirade to court anyway and lost. Or should I say, had to walk away?
Under the new ordinance, illegal ‘immigrants’ driving without a license in Cambridge will not be getting arrested.
City councilors in Cambridge Massachusetts have a new, “Welcoming Community Ordinance.” It was passed last week. They say it formalizes existing policy. Under the new ordinance, illegal ‘immigrants’ driving without a license in Cambridge will not be getting arrested.
Feds To Go After States Issuing Driver’s Licenses to Illegal Aliens
A state-issued driver’s license is like a key to the kingdom. It used as proof of identity for things local state and federal. So, the Feds are taking an interest. Where it is against the law for non-residents to access that which by law is limited to legal residents, the Feds have an interest.
Boston Globe Pours Over Problem: College Students Confused About Voting Rights in NH
The ongoing debate about who gets a vote in New Hampshire has found its way into the pages of the Boston Globe. The issue is the law versus the lawsuit. But it was the headline that caught my eye. “Ahead of N.H. primary, new voter residency requirements lead to confusion on campus.”
NH Finds its Own Backlog of 900 License Suspensions after Randolph Crash Kills 7
We’ve been giving Massachusetts a hard time about their bureaucracy. The driver who killed 7 in a deadly collision in Randolph, NH earlier this year wasn’t supposed to be behind the wheel. But NH, it appears, wasn’t doing much better on their reporting.
1,600 Massachusetts Drivers Have Their Licenses Suspended Following Deadly New Hampshire Crash
The tragic deaths of seven people in New Hampshire have dominated the news for weeks. Mowed down by a Ukrainian man in a truck towing a trailer. The investigation has led to a not so startling discovery. Government bureaucracies suck and then people die.
Did Chris Sununu Let NH Democrats Make it Impossible for Transgender People to Fly?
Somebody’s rainbow is smiling but should it? Governor Sununu allowed a bill to become law that allows New Hampshire residents to put an ‘x’ on their drivers’ license, instead of ‘M’ or ‘F’ (for Male or Female). Quick question? Why don’t they want ‘trans’ allowed on airplanes?
Does This Mean Genderless Illegal Aliens Can Vote in New Hampshire Too?
New Hampshire Democrats famously passed legislation to give illegal aliens drivers licenses. That way, they could vote. Now the Democrats have passed a bill to allow them, or anyone to use ‘x’ as their sex on that driver’s license.
NH Democrats Vote to Give Illegal Aliens Drivers’ Licenses
New Hampshire Democrats just voted to give drivers’ licenses to illegal aliens. HB 397 provides a list of foreign documents anyone can use to obtain one. Including expired alien registration cards.
Guare, The No Win Case
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 of New Hampshire.
Annemarie Guare & a. v. State of New Hampshire
No. 2014–558
Decided: May 15, 2015
Use An Out of State License to Vote? We Punch a Hole In It!
The circular logic New Hampshire courts use to let unqualified out-of-state residents vote in our state goes on and on.
In 2012 a Superior Court judge, now retired because he let other stupid opinions he had about female attorneys be known, issued an injunction against an attempt by the NH Legislature to stop out-out-state voters from involvement in our general elections where positions for federal office are determined. This activist judge invented a term for unqualified transient voters known as “mobile domiciled” voters
The case went to the NH State Supreme Court in 2015 after dragging through several elections.
Here is the offending language in question:
Eric Holder Flips on Out-Of-State Student License and Vehicle Registration Comments.
From the Concord Monitor. Mr. Holder Clarifies his clarification.
“My comments were intended to support the right of domiciled students to vote in the state of New Hampshire as long as they comply with existing law,” Holder said. “In no way should they be viewed as supporting any proposal that would make it harder for students to exercise their right to join in the Granite State’s electoral process.”
We reported yesterday on the original clarification in which he stated that Student’s should register cars in the Granite State and get a New Hampshire license. He has now backtracked to the State Demo Party Default answer that this is bad.
