New Hampshire Democrats like Sens. Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen support controversial federal legislation to revamp America s election law, but the Granite State officials tasked with actually running the state s elections are speaking out against it. They are trying to federalize a state issue. New Hampshire should be used as a model for other states, Michael Brooks, town clerk for Madison, told NHJournal. Our current system works very well and the proposed changes would require a complete overhaul of voting laws in New Hampshire.

Brooks was one of 24 town clerks from across the state who spoke to NHJournal about the so-called For The People Act. Of the 24, 21 oppose the legislation while two support it. One declined to take a position. Their views tended to reflect those of the state s top election official, Secretary of State Bill Gardner, an outspoken critic of a proposal that he says would take away our voting traditions.
