New Hampshire proposal targets federal voter-access bill
Modified: 5/19/2021 11:33:48 PM
CONCORD New Hampshire’s Republican-controlled Legislature is considering a preemptive strike against sweeping election and voter-access legislation being debated in Washington, D.C.
The House Election Law Committee heard testimony Wednesday on a bill amendment that would keep New Hampshire’s election system in place for state and county races if Congress enacts the “For the People Act.” The federal legislation, a top priority of Democrats after the divisive 2020 election, would touch nearly every aspect of the electoral process.
The proposal is aimed at curtailing the influence of big money in politics and removing hurdles to voting, with changes such as automatic voter registration and 24-hour ballot drop boxes. But opponents argue it includes provisions that New Hampshire lawmakers and courts already have rejected and would destroy a system that works well in the state.
