After decades of accepting non-citizens votes as equal to a qualified citizen\u2019s 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 \u2013 the same responsibilities as that of any other citizen.<\/p>\n

Get ready for the \u201cpoll tax\u201d debate!<\/p>\n

Proponents of non-resident voting will drag out a pathetic argument sure to stimulate the naive. Here is the argument: <\/p>\n

Obtaining an NH driver’s license when declaring NH your voting domicile is the same as a poll tax.
\nOK, let’s take the poll tax debate head-on.<\/p>\n

Poll tax: what you pay if you want to vote.<\/p>\n

The \u201cpoll tax\u201d was abolished by the 24th Amendment to the US Constitution. No state can implement a poll tax.<\/p>\n

Driver\u2019s license: what you get if you want to drive. Drivers license are issued by states to citizens of that state.<\/p>\n

If you hear anyone claiming NH has instituted a poll tax to vote in our state because you must get a driver\u2019s license to drive in New Hampshire you know that person is clinging to the last phony excuse for non-citizen voting.<\/p>\n

Here is the problem with crying \u201cpoll tax\u201d in a crowded dorm.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to get a New Hampshire driver\u2019s license if you declare this state your legal domicile for voting \u2013 but you can\u2019t drive around forever in our state, your new home, with a license from another state.<\/p>\n

When anyone moves to New Hampshire or turns 16 and wants to drive a vehicle on our highways they must get an NH driver’s license. <\/p>\n

We don\u2019t call that a poll tax. <\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t a poll tax.<\/p>\n

There is no such thing as a poll tax in New Hampshire or any other state. If there was a poll tax in New Hampshire people paying it would have sued in Federal Court.<\/p>\n

Federal Courts will not allow states to collect poll taxes.<\/p>\n

Federal Courts will not allow unqualified, out-of-state voters to vote in New Hampshire either. That is why our domicile\/resident scam has never gone to Federal Court either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
