Back in late October, the town clerk in Hanover, New Hampshire, made the news. According to The Dartmouth, the college campus newspaper, she said a new residency law does not impede the voting process for college students. But in a court filing to overturn the law, she is confused.
Democrats created dual-status status rights in NH or voting purposes but only for out-of-staters. If you are in NH on election day but live in another state, feel free to vote there or here. Actual residents can’t do that but a law to end the practice is called vote-suppression.
This: From the linked op-ed: The ACLU is arguing that the law is too confusing to implement in upcoming elections, including the presidential primary in February, and they’re right.

Democrats in New Hampshire’s neighboring states (mostly Massachusetts and Vermont) like to vote in the Granite State? They are encouraged to do that. Invited. Because here, their vote can make a difference. And actual residents get to pay the price for that.
The headline reads, New Hampshire GOP Tries to Block Some College Kids from Voting in 2020. There’s a word missing in that title. An important word that changes it from a complete lie into a whole truth.
A little Pink Floyd the Wall vibe working here as Secretary of State Bill Gardner testified before a State Senate Committee. The short version is this. Leave the election laws alone.
