Can we have some clarity on voter fraud in New Hampshire?
Is that possible?
Actually, clarity would be a disaster for the “You can move here and vote and move the next day,” crowd. Confusion is what they rely on – as well as holding all the top positions in the NH Secretary of State’s Office, the NH Attorney General’s Office, all of the courts that get these cases after some judge shopping, and our in-the-tank NH Media.
Here are some facts:
Domicile is a legal term, not hard to define. It is done all the time in all aspects of court cases.
The New Hampshire Constitution demands a domicile to vote in a town or ward.
People who promote voter fraud on purpose or unwittingly say that only double voting is illegal, the intent of a professional paid campaign worker is too hard to determine. If intent is too hard to determine by facts how would we ever prosecute arson, murder, fraud, or any other violation of law?
If a seasoned, professional, paid, out-of-state campaign worker comes to NH for an election and lives in the home of an elected official running for office and shares information, lists, and campaign tactics – then leaves NH right after the election – or comes back and does it during several election cycles (yes, we have them as well) that shows enough intent to prove voter fraud. That is if the powers that be want to prove voter fraud.
What would be nice would be to let a jury of real NH residents decide.
Here are some other facts about voter fraud:
Volunteers who work to expose voter fraud in NH have little in the way of public documents to use in that effort. The most useful information a citizen has to protect their legal vote has been stripped from our laws.
So dodging behind the old “but he only voted in one place” excuse doesn’t hold water. And you will be hearing this lame excuse for a long time now that the voter fraud dike has been breached.
As NH residents we all have the right to vote, as well as the obligations of citizenship in NH. Protecting that right is balanced with the right to oppose illegal voters – even if officials in charge make it almost impossible.
Here we are.
The time has come.
Pick a side.
