Voter ID

Is It Time To End The Injustice of Out Of State Tuition in NH?

by Steve MacDonald

Students voting - but do they really live here?New Hampshire’s white tower liberals and their advocates in state government have been adamant about their policy on College students voting in the Granite State.  While we have called this voter fraud, the Democrats insist that if you go to school here, then you should be able to vote here.

But are these “New Hampshire voters” getting screwed over by these same liberal establishment types?  Are the same people who insist students  should be able to claim residency for the purposes of voting for Democrat candidates, denying these students the same status when it comes to the cost of their education?

Using UNH as an example, the average New Hampshire voter who applied to attend the State school from someplace outside New Hampshire, shall not be denied their “right” to affect our elections, but must still pay 110% more per year in tuition than a New Hampshire “voter” who is defined by the university as domiciled inside the state for billing purposes.  And the progressives think voter ID disenfranchises the poor?

Ray Buckley’s Punchlines on Voter ID

by Rick Olson

This morning’s Union Leader features State Democratic Chairman Raymond Buckley calling for “bipartisan support” for prosecuting those who used the names of dead Granite Staters to receive ballots during the presidential primary.

Not at all surprising. In fact, many have wondered how long it would be before we heard from “Buckles the Clown” regarding the ongoing saga of Democratic advocacy of Vote Fraud in the Granite State.  Just another punchline from “Buckles.” Seriously. When has Raybo ever done anything for a higher bipartisan purpose?

Democrats And Voter Fraud

by Rick Olson

“Voter Fraud is an accepted way of winning elections here…”—Unnamed Democratic Election Worker “This is an ongoing scheme and it occurs on both sides of the aisle…What appears as a huge conspiracy to non-political persons is really a normal political tactic.” — Democratic City Councilor Anthony Defiglio to NY State Police. http://youtu.be/Mc51hyhp33o Glad there’s no voter … Read more

New Hampshire Welcomes Voter Fraud

GrokTV Event: NH Speaker Bill O’Brien Town Hall – Questions!

by Skip

Quite a bit of the Town Hall was taken up by questions (some pre-written and some from the floor):

  • On Voter ID
  • Would Gov Lynch actually support on a Voter ID bill?
  • How can the private sector assist in the cost of Education?
  • How about Consolidates SAUs (School Administrative Units)?
  • More on Voter Fraud
  • School Vouchers a possibility?
  • Special Education funding (Federal, State)
  • In 40 years, why is Education costing 3 X more but results are worse?
  • The 10 Health Agencies are not working
  • Some House Reps had conflicts over Right To Work – but didn’t recuse themselves!
  • Right To Work “positives”
  • On that “Stealing $499 from your employer is not a crime” bill…
  • Closed Primaries – possibility?

Voter ID laws: Disenfranchising People Since…eh…When?

by Rick Olson

“American youth attributes much more importance to arriving at driver’s license age than at voting age.” —Marshall McLuhan

Opponents of Voter ID laws argue the laws stifle turnout among students, poor people and minorities, who are more likely to vote for Democrats but might lack government-issued IDs, such as driver’s licenses and passports. And that is a totally flawed notion.

 Why is that notion so flawed? Simple. Let us look first at the largest demographic in the U.S. who is most likely to seek out  public assistance of any kind. In doing so, lets look at a program or two that are universally recognized:

Democrat Election Law Flashback! (It’s not just Voter Fraud…)

by Steve MacDonald

The New Hampshire Dead People party (NHDP) has made voter fraud easy so they could commit it at will while continuing to insist there is none.  And proof is not proof.  Getting a ballot without even a challenge is not an example of how easy it is to ….get a ballot without being challenged.

Another example of that is sign stealing, which also violates election law, unless you are the husband of a Democrat NH State Senator, captured on film, in the act of stealing campaign signs.  We don’t have voter fraud, even when we have it.  So we must not have sign stealing democrats either.  But we do.  (Geoff Wetrosky…you are on deck buddy–Geoff came from out of state to steal signs and votes, while living in then NHDP Chairman Kathy Sullivan’s house, and no one was prosecuted for that either.)

So since no one ever get’s prosecuted, I’d like to celebrate voter fraud-deniers awareness month with another example of left wing disregard for election law.  Originally posted in November 2010, it’s ‘Ray Buckley’s Norman Rockwell’…

To all NH Taxpayer Activists – A message from Ed Naile

From Ed Naile: To all NH Taxpayer Activists: The Drudge Report has a story today about James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas investigative journalists asking for NH Open Primary ballots as though they were registered voters in New Hampshire.  The Project Veritas journalists posed as voters using the names of deceased NH residents of the … Read more

The NHDP Presents…The Voting Dead

by Steve MacDonald

The New Hampshire Democrat Party and democrat legislators everywhere, in association with Granite State progress,  Granite State Fair Tax Coalition, the UCC, NHCC, and every other so-called by-partisan-but-in-reality-left-wing-front-group pretending there are no problems with vote fraud in New Hampshire, present a new made for fraud miniseries….The Voting Dead.  Watch for it…at every future election in … Read more

League of Women Voters Now Hissing at Project Veritas Video

by Rick Olson

“Perhaps that suspicion of fraud enhances the flavor.” —C. S. Forester

Shrew
SHREW: (SHroo) def. 1. A small mouse-like insectivorous mammal (Sorex, Crocidura, and other genera, family Soricidae) with a long pointed snout and tiny eyes. 2. A bad-tempered or aggressively assertive woman.

The New Hampshire League of Women Voters call James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas video, “A Fraud.” The League has called for the prosecution of, “these out of state con-artists.” As Reported in today’s edition of the New Hampshire Union Leader.  Let the slash and burn begin, I say! These types of fights are the stuff dreams are made of.

Juxtaposing this anti-voter ID push-back with the viewpoint of the average citizen who votes, but does not dabble in activist partisan rancor, an overwhelming majority of those citizens agree it is perfectly reasonable to show who one is to vote on election days. Maintaining the integrity of a system, intended to incorporate the duty of one person, one vote, gels with average sensibilities and common sense.

NH Democrats Announce ‘Get out the Vote’ Strategy

Rumor has it New Hampshire Democrats are assuring their candidates a guaranteed victory in November thanks to this Get Out The Vote strategy.  

Not So Secret Fact about Voter ID – We Don’t Need Democrats To Pass It

by Steve MacDonald

I see dead people- stealing votes in New HampshireThe only reason we do not have a voter ID law in New Hampshire is because Republicans didn’t vote to override a veto.  We don’t need Lynch to like the bill.  We don’t need one single Democrat in the entire legislature to like it either.  We just need a few more GOP House members to like it and to vote to override any new veto.

So while the Democrats (and RINO’s)  help us keep this in the news with talk about pressing charges, dust off HB356-FN (it is waiting in the Election Law Committee) and get it to the House floor.

NH Rep. Timothy Horrigan just doesn’t get it when it comes to Voter ID

by Skip

‘Grok reader John D (and being that I am on his email list, put up things that he sends around from time to time.  This time, NH Rep. Horrigan decided to tangle with John concerning Voter ID:

Under existing NH law, the state would have to pay for the “free” voter IDs. NH’s proposed legislation (which is not identical to Indiana law) would cost millions of dollars to solve a problem which (going by the hard data) is almost nonexistent.

Now, given everything else that the State seems to pay for, I’d be more than willing to move budgetary priorities around such that other things would not paid for to ensure that the integrity of the vote, MY vote, would be protected.  Fraudulent voting weakens not only the process but the whole idea of the right and responsibility of being a citizen.  And knowing that my vote, as well as all other citizens’, would be protected, I (the normally tight fisted fiscal conservative) would grudgingly happily pay for that.

Well, John decided to take Timothy to task by listing a few “lesser priority” items for which photo ID is mandatory (both in the private AND public sectors):

Actually, they are referred to as a “Non-Driver ID”. Since all New Hampshire issued driver’s licenses include a photo, those who don’t or no longer drive have found a need for a phote ID:

Airports, Hospital, Pharmacy, Donating blood, Banks & Credit Unions, Gun Shop [to purchase a firearm -Skip], Writing a check, Adoption agency, Social Security office, Pawn shop, Jail, Using a credit card, Court

Your Vote Is Worth Millions- Maybe You’d Like To Protect it?

by Steve MacDonald

SB 129 is coming up for a veto override vote in the New Hampshire Senate in the next week or so. (The Union leader referred to it as SB 189, this morning, which is incorrect.) SB 129 would require ID to vote in New Hampshire. It would afford the same protection to your vote as it does to dozens of other things you need an ID for.
