“American youth attributes much more importance to arriving at driver’s license age than at voting age.” —Marshall McLuhan
HB 1301, a bill seeking to remove requirements for an an affidavit to challenge votes , and permitting voter challenges on election days to be made at voting registration tables. The Bill, sponsored by Representative Paul Mirski and Paul Ingbretson, passed a house vote on February 22, 212 to 129, and is now before the Senate with a hearing scheduled for this past Tuesday.
“It is a sign of the times that the absence of meaningful ID requirements in many states leaves our voting process vulnerable to fraud and allows legal votes to be cancelled out by illegally cast ballots.” —Rep. Virgil Goode, 5th congressional district of Virginia: 1997 to 2009.
It intrigues me that Project Veritas struck again on March 13 in Vermont, yet got very little face time in the national media. James O’Keefe and Project Veritas took a road trip to Vermont on March 13th and conducted a redux of the the New Hampshire investigation. Only this time they never took a ballot. And true to form, the liberals acted as predicted: Calls to the attorney General for an investigation to see if any crimes were committed.
Project Veritas folks took this one step further, though. They went to bars and attempted to obtain alcohol without an ID; They attempted to get a civil union certificate without an ID. Both endeavors met with failure.
Twitchy has a link to an investigation of the voter rolls in Democrat Sheila Jackson Lees district. The group began doing research into the abnormalities in Jackson Lee’s district. They took the first 3,800 registrations of the flagged 19,596 homes with six or more registrants and began to investigate further. The group visited addresses and … Read more
Yesterday, the New Hampshire Senate passed SB289 right down party lines 18 to 5, according the the New Hampshire Union Leader. The bill now goes to the House. The Senate website indicates a roll call vote, but as of this morning, there is no listing for that. Why is the leadership in this Senate Body “gun shy” about each Senator owning his or her vote via roll call?
The bill require voters to show photo identification before casting ballots is a step closer to becoming law after it was passed by a wide margin in the Senate on Wednesday.
You want to register? No ID needed. Even if you use the names of star quarterbacks! Lovely! “We are not the police“…… Who else is getting disenfranchised today? After what happened here in NH, why hasn’t the MSM been digging into this with all of their armies of investigative reporters, fact checkers, editors, and political … Read more

That 9:30 press conference, the one at which Zandra Rice Crispy Treats Hawkins (ZRCTH) was supposed to unleash the fury of over 100,000 signed petitions, started a little late. Something to do with the lack of actual press. As of 10:00 Zandra was still there, as the typical day’s traffic wandered in and out of the Legislative office Building, paying little or no attention to the tiny knot of people behind the podium.
We’ve begun the process of getting our hands on the ‘so-called’ 109,900 names and addresses from petitions ‘collected’ by the well funded out of state groups who dropped them on the New Hampshire Attorney General yesterday I have speculated on a few occasions that a super-majority of these will be from outside New Hampshire, but … Read more
Tomorrow, someone who relies entirely on out of state money, will present a pile of petitions, signed almost entirely with out of state signatures, to the New Hampshire Attorney General (AG), whom she will ask to investigate voter fraud in the Granite State.
Let me start out by thanking Zandra for the petition show she plans to put on tomorrow. She thinks she is going to make a statement about the need to prosecute voter fraud, James O’Keefe and Project Veritas specifically, but that is not the statement she will be making.
Please allow me to set the table.
Not long ago Merrimack went to annual renewal of our dump decal. You display it on your windshield so they know you are a resident. It costs nothing to get the decal, but according to the guy handing them out, the amount of savings more than covers the cost of doing this every year. Quite a bit more. He says that asking people to present an ID once a year to get a new sticker, saves the municipality a lot of money.
Not only was there fraud at a place where not too many people were thinking about it (at the town transfer station) but there was enough of it to make annual renewals an important disincentive against it.
Of course the cost of operating the transfer station is just one part of the town budget.
So how much could it cost a town if just anyone can walk into a polling place, get a ballot without any ID at all, and vote for or against issues, Warrants, and candidates that will affect local spending and inevitably the tax burden required to fund that spending? More? Millions more?
Right after the NH senate committee heard testimony on SB289 and NH State Senator Russell Prescott (here, here, and here), they started right to discuss SB318 which also addressed the need for voter verification at the ballot box as a necessary tool to help prevent voter fraud and to protect the integrity of the votes … Read more
OK, I’m touting my own horn here. Sure, I am in favor of a Voter ID bill that requires a picture ID. Given the two bills, I think I would favor SB289 over SB318. Yes, the latter tries to cover more areas but I think that SB289 is more tightly focused on the major issue … Read more
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?
Along with his testimony on his amendments SB289 concerning presenting a valid picture ID in order to vote here in NH, the other NH State Senators on the committee had a few questions for him: The details on the bill can be seen here.
Yesterday, I had to go the State House on a personal matter. Seeing that I had to wait to complete that errand, why not spend the time wisely? With the coverage that the Grok has spent on the Voter ID / fraud issue here in NH since the James O’Keefe / Project Veritas video that … Read more
“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
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?
Quite a bit of the Town Hall was taken up by questions (some pre-written and some from the floor):
Videos after the jump:
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’…
“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:
