Shhhh… Maggie Hassan signs new bill to let non-resident college students use college ID to vote in New Hampshire.<\/p>\n

Could it be part of her re-election strategy?<\/p>\n

Can liberals win an election in NH, other than a liberal town, without non-resident voters?<\/p>\n

I guess Hassan\u2019s actions speak to that.<\/p>\n

This brings up the question of citizenship as a whole.<\/p>\n

If I find a college student stealing my vote in NH from, let\u2019s say, Vermont, could I vote in his place?<\/p>\n

Wouldn\u2019t it be refreshing to have a bunch of conservative voters show up in some left wing college town and vote?<\/p>\n

Wouldn\u2019t it add a little spice to a Ma. election to have NH residents pour into that state and help swing it?<\/p>\n

But the real question to me is \u2013 jury duty.<\/p>\n

OK, the way Maggie wants it goes like this:
\nLiberal college kids, or liberal non-resident political activists, land in NH for a short time to vote for her. But they don\u2019t have to serve on a jury like a real, taxpaying NH voter does. I know, I was on jury duty last year and had to show my NH driver\u2019s license each time we went into the jury room. Could a non-resident college ID work for jury duty? Why not?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s have some non-residents sit for a few weeks in a jury room and decide the fate of our court cases as well.<\/p>\n

All that aside, here is the interesting part.<\/p>\n

When I was on jury duty in Manchester the first thing I noticed is that there were NO young people. Other people noticed that as well. How could it be that a random drawing of about 150 people didn\u2019t have anyone under the age of 23 in it?<\/p>\n

You have to excuse the elderly NH residents from jury duty. I think it is 70 and up so they are not there. But how come no 18 \u2013 22 year olds in my jury pool?<\/p>\n

Or has it become so bad in NH with thousands of non-residents on the voter checklists that we have some quiet little entity grooming the jury lists of non-residents?<\/p>\n

Almost 100,000 same day voters showed up in 2012 and 70,000 before that and none wind up having to be excused from jury duty because they are not residents?<\/p>\n

Seems awful funny with that number of new voters we don\u2019t see people excused from jury duty because they don\u2019t live, but only VOTE here.<\/p>\n

But this is the problem when you set up different rules for different people. In a civil rights case it would be known as a \u201csubject class\u201d of people treated differently than others under the same law or constitution.<\/p>\n

As an example, blacks used to have to sit in the back of the bus until civil rights suits came along.
\nNow, NH residents have to get in the back of the line to vote and the front to serve on a jury. <\/p>\n

Thank you, Maggie Hassan and the activist courts in NH for making NH citizens a subject class inferior to your non-resident voters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
