Jim, can busloads of “New Republican voters” show up and register to vote on the primary day and vote like the Rubes did at Iowa?
Thanks
Sorta.
Each town has a Supervisor of the Checklist (elected), who is in charge of registration. You CAN register to vote on February 9, BUT, depending on location, you have to prove residency more or less stringently.
In my town of 6000 people and about 2000 voters, if the Supervisor of the Checklist doesn't know you personally, the residency proof represents a high hurdle. A busload of "voters" could not vote in my town.
In Manchester or Portsmouth, I think it would be easier.
Our biggest problem is a recent Supreme Court decision allowing college students to vote without proving they are not also registered elsewhere. But, next Tuesday, since they are all feeling the Bern, this should help give Hillary the spanking she so richly deserves.
