Before anyone tells me how unimportant my input is or reminds me of my previous article supporting Dan Innis, there are some things to consider. Let’s start by remembering that a federal senatorial race is a statewide election. Unlike a presidential election, only NH voters get to vote (lawfully and in theory), which makes it … Read more
The state of Louisiana has become the focal point of longstanding tensions between the well-intentioned goals of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to prevent racial discrimination and the specific provisions of the Constitution mandating that all citizens be treated equally, regardless of skin color. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Oct. 15 in Louisiana … Read more
Many readers might already be thinking, “But I don’t vote in Ward 2 or even live in Nashua,” a predictable thought. Many “low information voters” cast their ballots in a mental and/or political trance; some might have ties to you, the reader. Six degrees of separation is something many of us have heard before. I’m … Read more
Remember Gracie Gato. Some years back, out of the (deep) blue, she announced that she was going to ruin GraniteGrok. I may still have screen grabs of the profanity-laden social media posts somewhere, but you can see how that worked out. Still here and better than ever. Last Fall, I got some information that her … Read more
My cellphone binged with a request to take a poll about Vermont issues. Sure, why not? They might be curious about what’s on my mind, but I was equally curious about what was on the minds of the pollsters — and who they’re working for. The answer to my latter question is they are working … Read more
Most readers are already familiar with WMUR’s reputation and many editorials have been and can be written about it, but with city elections less than three weeks from now, I’m here to fill in some gaping holes in this WMUR story about free flowers and put Fortin Gage on notice. Fortin Gage, according to a … Read more
Back in August, Kamala Harris had suggested that she wasn’t going to run for President again in 2028. She told Stephen Colbert as much on not-quite-live television. Harris said the system was broken and she didn’t want to get back into it, which I took to mean that it wasn’t her fault she lost – … Read more
JB Pritzker is no longer just the Governor of Illinois; he is also the first undeclared candidate for President in 2028. Pritzker will not be running as a Democrat, as the Democratic Party has ceased to exist. He will be the first presidential candidate to run as a member of the Anti-Trump Party. The Anti-Trump … Read more
I’m calling on all like-minded Granite Staters to mark their calendars for Tuesday, November 4, regardless of whether they live in a city. If you live in a city, you should already know when your local election is, who to vote for, and who you need to get rid of. If you live in a … Read more
Earlier this week, I sent a list of questions to all four candidates in the race for Mayor of Rochester, New Hampshire. Given who is running, the unique situations in that corner of the state, and a flurry of interest from several readers, it seemed like something worth doing. Of the four, only two responded, … Read more
With city elections just a month away, it’s a good idea for candidates to be familiar with their city’s “operations manual” regarding recounts, regardless of the city, but especially in Nashua. As Alderman Dowd’s previous opponent, I was refused a recount. Before any readers call me a sore loser or (insert preferred insult here), some … Read more

I would like to offer a comparison of the two candidates running for Mayor of Laconia, Councilor Bruce Cheney and Michael Bordes. Voters have a choice between two different candidates, and I hope to make a clear distinction between them. On one hand we have Michael Bordes who moved to Laconia approximately 10 years ago … Read more

The left has been loading up on illegals to give blue areas more members of Congress for whom they’d love these licensed non-citizens to vote.
I want to give a brief pitch to you, the reader and potential donor, why Mr. Gouthro is a good candidate and a serious candidate
It is, as they like to say around these parts, wicked early to be taking any poll about party nominees for the 2028 presidential contest seriously.
Democratic governors have been showcasing the lunacy that is the core of the Party, and the one thing they have in common is water. We used to have the East and West Coast govs filling the air on the mainstream media, headlined by Kathy Hochul in New York and the human soundbite, Gavin Newsom in … Read more
Yesterday, we reported on irregularities with the Timberlane School District election (March 11, 2025), in Plaistow, where activists discovered issues with properly securing completed ballots (among other things). From that same election, we not so proudly bring you the school Fuster Cluck in Danville, New Hampshire. In summary, the locals responsible for ensuring election integrity … Read more
Last year, we invested no small amount of time and space, thanks to the hard work of citizens who care more about election integrity than many towns or the state, exposing ballot chain of custody issues. If you recall, improperly sealed boxes and problems with the procedure for applying tamperproof tape received some attention. The … Read more
