I re-register my LLC with the Secretary of State at the beginning of the year. January first. The first day of the year. I make sure the trade name is still in good standing, and the SoS typically emails me a confirmation, or I can check the website and see the words Grok Media LLC … Read more
The Town of Windham is bad at elections. Before the 2020 Windham Incident, we don’t know how bad, but since then, they’ve failed at every opportunity to ensure election integrity. This required the Secretary of State to provide election monitors, which hasn’t done much good, and the most recent report on Windham’s progress is proof. … Read more
Facebook has been tossing up an alert asking if you are registered to vote. I ignored it when I saw it, as did a few other folks who noticed, but a Grok reader screen grabbed it, and it found its way to my inbox.
Antony Blinken has a deep history with President Joe Biden. It may very well be that Blinken has done some underhanded, if not illegal, things for the Big Guy. These things may have him sitting in the Secretary of State seat. It certainly is not his credentials. Blinken is considered one of the “made men” in Biden’s world.

The smoke is still in the air from the NH House elections yesterday. While a number of Districts have been 100% counted, not all of those candidates with the most votes in those Districts have been “blessed” yet with the “Winner’s Checkmark”.

Most candidates for public office in New Hampshire know that for a small fee they can obtain a complete list of all registered voters in their town providing names and addresses and party registrations.

Back in 2016, left-wing environmental groups and their wealthy donors teamed up with like-minded attorneys general. Together they formulated a plan. Use the force of law to silence dissent:Sue climate deniers. The bigger, the better.
Campaign Finance Reports! Yay! (Sarcasm, sort of.) There is usually a lot of material that comes out of campaign finance reports for State races, which we’ve written about before. Yesterday’s filings show that one NH Senator, Shannon Chandley, raised only $5 in district. Five bucks. Related: SoS Website – Search Filed Reports That doesn’t include … Read more
As states across the Country push to enact the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which will award the White House to the winner of the National Popular Vote (if/when the Compact hits 270 electoral votes,) some New Hampshire Representatives have introduced the Electoral College Defense Act.

House Bill 1264, which became effective in July, made the act of voting in New Hampshire a declaration of residency in New Hampshire, triggering all the responsibilities that come with being a resident of New Hampshire. The New Hampshire Attorney General, however, seems intent on undermining House Bill 1264. The “Election Law Unit” issued advice … Read more
It is quite obvious from these remarks by New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte that she prefers white meat at Thanksgiving, why else try to put a hold on the nomination of UN Embarrasador Susan Rice as a potential replacement to Hillarity Clinton? Yeah, she has these facts about Rice misleading the American people on Benghazi … Read more
