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.
The Democrats latest crazy in a long and growing list is allowing 16 year-olds to vote. One example of why this is a bad idea is circulating the internet. A poem by a 16-year old boy calling himself “Psychedelic Warlord.” I need a butt-shine, Buff my ba**s, Wax my a**.
The governor of Virginia has proposed reforms that would eliminate voter ID in that state. The package also includes something called no-excuse absentee voting. Together they provide no excuse for not stealing votes. But hey, this is for the people. Wait, which people?
by Granite State Taxpayers: The NH Legislature is Considering Bills to Eliminate the Reforms of Senate Bill 3 and House Bill 1264. GST has long advocated for reform of New Hampshire Election Laws. GST supports legislation so that people who vote in New Hampshire actually live in New Hampshire. New Hampshire is unique in the country in … Read more
By Jon DiPietro The above graph should surprise no one and terrify everyone and if you look at this graph and apply a stock market chart analysis, you’d see a trend of lower highs and lower lows. That’s a bad thing. [Note by Skip: It also shows that the Democrat lows and highs are getting … Read more
I just got back from voting. Long lines of cars. Lots of people voting. An impressive display of civic duty. And that’s at one of three polling places in my town. To the town’s credit, once you got parked and to the polls, things went smoothly. Even with the crowd things moved along and I was … Read more
NBC reports that registered Republicans are leading the charge in states where early voting is allowed. GOP-affiliated voters have surpassed Democratic-affiliated ones in early voting in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Montana, Tennessee and Texas, the data showed. Only in Nevada have Democratic-affiliated voters exceeded Republican-affiliated voters so far in early voting, according to the data. … Read more
Let me see if I have this right: SB 3, which clarifies the process by which some people — mainly non-resident college students — can vote in New Hampshire, has been set aside (temporarily, at least) by a Superior Court judge because these students might have trouble reading the new affidavit specified by the law, which apparently is written at too high a reading level.
Too high a reading level. For college students.
Specifically, the new affidavit places an ‘unreasonable and discriminatory’ burden on those students because — in the judge’s words — it ‘reads like a statute’.
So a statute can’t be a valid statute… if it reads like one? What are the alternatives?
After decades of accepting non-citizens votes as equal to a qualified citizen’s vote, the New Hampshire State Supreme Court has acknowledged in its recent opinion that one must be domiciled in New Hampshire to vote here. This means that being domiciled in our state carries certain responsibilities – the same responsibilities as that of any other citizen.
Get ready for the “poll tax” debate! Proponents of non-resident voting will drag out a pathetic argument sure to stimulate the naive. Here is the argument:
Obtaining an NH driver’s license when declaring NH your voting domicile is the same as a poll tax.
OK, let’s take the poll tax debate head-on.
I know, what’s with all this court crap, Steve? I hear you. It’ll get “worse” before it gets better. June is a busy month for those stories, and this one comes to us from Virginia, where the governors are as likely to be headed to court as anyone, and felons got the vote until they didn’t.
RICHMOND, Va. – Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s action restoring the voting rights of more than 200,000 felons was unconstitutional, Virginia’s highest court ruled Friday, siding with Republican lawmakers who said the governor overstepped his authority.
The old “loophole” argument is back at it again when it comes to voter fraud in NH. The “powers that be” who will not prosecute out-of-state voters have determined there is no law mandating a NH driver’s license to vote in NH. That is their current excuse.
This simpleton argument has no merit, but it does sound good – if you like out-of-state voters stealing a recent US Senate Seat election for Maggie Hassen.
Here is the specific language of RSA 654:1 regarding who can vote in NH.
UNH has elections coming up at the end of March. From Tuesday, March 27th to Thursday, March 29th the Student Body will come together to vote for their next student leaders! The 2018 Student Body General Election will elect the next Student Body President/Vice President and Student Trustee. The election ballot will also have up … Read more
Ooooh the Dems they like them some settled law (except when they don’t).
Boston.com has an article today observing that pro-obama turnout in New Hampshire’s college towns is less than it was in 2008. There is very intentional mention of concerns (from folks like myself I assume) about out of state students being used to tip the election; but how no one could ever know how they’d vote, and about the promtion by Democrats of the idea that Republicans were tyring to keep them from voting which is why they should.
So much concern in one tiny little article, complete with deceptions, and a new narrative to plumb.
Well I just happen to have a very workable theory about why turnout in NH College towns was down–something I had not considered checking until now, thank you–and it ties directly to a well worn New Hampshire Democrat excuse about why they support out of state student voting in New Hampshire.
I’m thinking that I may just have to vote Democrat in the upcoming election.
There are many reasons why.
Here are some of them….
1. I may vote Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene…
Well, at midway through the afternoon, voting is light by many measure of general elections. However, cast in the light of the 11% estimated Primary Day turnout, it seems that voting locally will exceed that estimate. There is a contentious issue on the ballot – the Selectmen were very unhappy with the vote of the … Read more
Oh really…. Well then don’t be surprised when you get this look from your friends….
It is generally accepted that military personnel and their families, no matter where they are working, get to vote back home, no matter where they are and how far away “home” is. But to hear New Hampshire Democrats talk, if there was one or more, great big military bases in New Hampshire, with thousands of … Read more
