MWV Republican Committee Chairman Steven Steiner recently complained about voter fraud, saying there was âweirdnessâ with the turnout in New Hampshire, since Republicans swept state-level elections but failed to unseat the congressional delegation or give a majority vote to President Trump. But N.H. Secretary of State Bill Gardner told the Sun, âI think we should all be proud of the job New Hampshire does with its elections.â Gardner said safeguards in place to prevent voter fraud include having to provide a picture ID or proof of residence, and failing that, having the election moderator photograph voters at the polls and signing an affidavit. âWeâre the only state in the country that has that,â Gardner said. In addition, supervisors of the checklist oversee voter rolls in each town.
MWV Republicansâ chairman Steve Steiner says heâs the editor and publisher.
One letter was from MWV Republicansâ vice chair John Hartman of Eaton. Titled, âLocal Republican Group Gets Serious about Voter Fraud, it was the same letter Hartman submitted to the Sun, which ran it July 1.
In the letter, Hartman states that Ed Naile of the New Hampshire Coalition of Taxpayers recently spoke about voter fraud, a topic he said the local group is very concerned about.
Hartman states that the MWVRC âhas collected voter lists from all valley towns now as well as state historical voting lists on these towns and has a committee using this database to contact voters and spot illegal voting.â
Now the question is, whatâs next?
Does the defeat of the short-term regulations mean the town will be mailing out cease-and-desist orders tomorrow to the 500-odd rental properties in Conway? The short answer is no.
Minutes after the results were announced, Selectman John Colbath said: âWe do not have the information to decide what to do next.â
Added Selectman Mary Carey Seavey: âI want to hear what town attorney Peter Malia has to say. If we are going to issue cease and desists, it has to be orderly.â
Colbath said he believes many people voted against the regulations because they thought within a month there would be properties for lower-income people to buy. âThe reality is thatâs not going to happen,â he said.
The bill is SB 154. On April 1, Senate Republicans passed it 14-10. If there are executive orders issued from President Biden restricting an individual s ability to keep and bear arms, this bill would make it clear that the state of New Hampshire would not enforce any such orders issued after Jan. 20, 2021, Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) said in a press release issued by Senate Republicans. SB 154 will protect the rights of New Hampshire citizens to defend themselves and their loved ones, the release said. New Hampshire is among the safest states in America because we have effective law enforcement and allow people to exercise their constitutional rights under the Second Amendment.
