New Hampshire to evaluate Election Day voter registration policy
seacoastonline.com ^ | 11/8/04 | AP

Posted on 11/08/2004 3:14:56 PM PST by jwalsh07

More than 96,000 people registered to vote on Election Day overall. They made up about 15 percent of the state’s turnout.

Orville Fitch, who has been overseeing election issues for the state’s attorney general, said he hopes to compile a "snapshot" of the affidavit’s use. He said the research may show if affidavits are used more often in some areas, such as southern border communities, when compared with central or northern areas.

"Many people have expressed concern that Election Day registration or registration with domicile affidavit, or the two combined, are creating some opportunity to fraudulently register," he said, "and I think it’s helpful to us to know if that is remarkably different on Election Day compared to the rest of the year."

Interesting ... does anyone know the registration requirements?

Someone else posted a thread saying NH was doing a recount. The thread and the account were pulled but I did find an article indicating Nader requested a recount (see Nader requests recount of NH Presidential ballot). Maybe Ralph thought it too corporate to have leftover capital? The post used Err America as the source so perhaps the request was denied. Imagine, though, if Ralph made his contribution to the cause by forcing the uncovering of RAT fraud in New Hampster and turned the state Red. That would be sweet.

No recount, Nader didn't send the 80 grand required with such a request.

Could this little *evaluation* change the outcome of NH if they find that, say 10,000 votes were fraudulent?.....

Thanks for the info. I notice it didn't explicitly say not to vote in both their college town AND their home town. Expect to hear that raised as a defense. I also love the part about the legal ramifications of declaring NH as their domicile. NH still lacks an income tax doesn't it? Things like registration fees, license fees, and court fines for things like failing to obtain a NH driver's license within 60 days will make a nice little 1/2/2005 surprise for some. Well, they were warned.

There is enough friction already between the college kids and the townies. I wonder if these 10,000 changed any town governments from red to blue. That will go over well ... not!

W lost by 10,000 but the Republican Governor lost by 13,000. I think you'll find that this story is gonna have some legs in the months to come.

MoveOn.org had a major presence in NH. The official line was they did not care who they enrolled to vote, just that they voted. In my town, that still managed to vote red, was full of MA registered cars ostensibly there to vote using their seasonal home addresses as their legal domicile. If that is the case then they are criminally suspect of fraud. It is my belief that MoveOn had a mission to enlist as many liberals to take on the office of Town Moderators and Supervisor of the Checklists (volunteer jobs) to minimize any trouble registering fraudulent voters to win one for Kerry and Lynch. Well, Lynch did win and I suspect fraud was behind it as many Republicans didn't have much use for Benson.

I would change the election law (not for just NH but all states) by requiring one to switch their driver's license and car tags to the new state (where they are going to college in at) BEFORE they can register to vote. For the car tags, the person would have to sign an affidavit or prove their car(s) are registered in their new state. For the affidavit, signing it even if original state registration is retained should be punishable as a felony.

Here in Colorado Springs, we have a very liberal college known as Colorado College. Most of the people who attend CC are from the Elitist Northeast or from the Left Coast. Many of those people voted in the last election. One house district happens to be carved to include CC and other liberal parts of Colorado Springs so as to be a state legislators seat that is for Democrats. El Paso County is considered very conservative and that district has the only El Paso County democRAT.

Even if it's not double voting, there must be lots of mass-a-chew-sits natives with property in NH, or cross-border college students, or vice versa that could vote in EITHER location.

Why would they vote in MASS when they know their vote makes no difference there? Thousands of them could choose to vote instead on NH, and thats just not right to pick and choose like that.

My daughter voted in Plymouth, NH, a college town. She said the polling place was covered in college kids, most with Massachusetts plates. She thinks they probably registered both places and possibly voted both. They were mostly Kerry supporters. She hopes the state investigates, and looks like they might.

Kerry won NH.
Almost no legal Mass. resident would have wasted time to go vote in Mass. Most Mass. residents live in areas so predominantly Democrat that wasting the time to drive back to their Mass. poll location would not have even been a consideration. So those in NH on business/pleasure/college stayed in NH and voted in NH. Those who wanted to "further the cause" committed fraud and drove up to NH from MA just to vote for Kerry/Lynch etc. Year round NH residents better push hard to have much stricter motor voter provisions established in their state, as well as push Bass Bradley and Gregg to repeal/repair Motor Voter Act.

How did Gregg win with such a large vote and the state not go to Bush? That question makes me personally wonder if vote fraud was much a factor at all in this election.

"many Republicans didn't have much use for Benson."

Yes, this was driven home to me as I spoke with our R state rep candidate in Franklin...I'm not sure why Benson engendered so much resentment.
