Ross Berry", "committee": "Election Law", "vote_yeas": 11, "vote_nays": 9, "text": "As amended, this bill attempts to close one of New Hampshire's most glaring election integrity shortfalls which is that New Hampshire does not currently require a voter registering on election day to present any form of identification (ID) and may instead sign an affidavit. This means that any person can walk into any polling location in the state and be handed a ballot in exchange for signing some pieces of paper referred to as affidavits. This system breeds distrust in the election process and results in lower voter turnout. In the 2020 election, a total of 4,244 affidavits were completed by voters and of those, 733 were completed by voters who had no ID. This bill as amended requires anyone registering to vote on election day present an ID or they must vote using an Affidavit Ballot. That voter must then produce proper identification within the next seven days, or their ballot will be removed and their vote subtracted from the total. While much concern was raised about the impact this might have on creating a general election ballot for overseas voters, the bill was amended to a time frame that the Secretary of State testified could accommodate the generation of those ballots in a timely fashion. This process would not go into effect until the next election cycle.

Connie Lane", "committee": "Election Law", "text": "This bill establishes \"affidavit balloting,\" also known as \"provisional\" or \"challenge\" ballots in the name of election integrity, despite no evidence of any abuse of the system existing under our current laws. The bill removes the ability of a voter without photo identification to sign an affidavit at the voting place swearing to the voter's address and identity. In addition to being a thinly veiled voter suppression effort, the bill is riddled with serious flaws, including a question as to whether it violates NH Constitution Part II, Article 32, by adding or subtracting votes after the tally is made by the moderator on election night. A second major flaw is that provisional ballots are not secret - they are assigned a number linking them to the voter. The moderator and other voting officials will be able to see the provisional ballot linked to a voter. Furthermore, this bill directly conflicts with RSA 656:16, which provides that there shall be no impression or mark to distinguish one general election ballot from another. The affidavit ballot is marked by the moderator. Next, the bill endangers NH's compliance with the National Voter Registration Act, which would require an overhaul of our entire voting system with an estimated cost of $6.5 million. In cities and towns with many new voters, the impact on the voting system will be severe - requiring additional staff and training for election workers. On top of all of this, the time frames in the bill will make it exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to comply with the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act that requires ballots to go out to service members and their families 45 days prior to the election."}], "source": "House Calendar 15, 2022", "date": "2022-04-15", "dated": "printed", "cite": "HC 15", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2022%5CNo%2015%20April%2015%202022.pdf"}, {"bill": "SB418", "title": "relative to verification of voter affidavits", "majority_recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "minority_recommendation": "INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE", "reports": [{"side": "Majority", "author": "Rep.

Mary Beth Walz", "committee": "Finance", "text": "The minority believes this is a troubled bill that should be sent to Interim Study. The creation of provisional ballots that cannot be counted until seven days after an election means elections may not be certified until a week after the polls closed. In a primary election the delay would make it impossible to mail ballots 45 days before the general election placing New Hampshire in violation of the Uniformed and Overseas Citizen Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA). By passing this bill, we are making it difficult, if not impossible, for members of our military stationed overseas, government employees stationed overseas, and US citizens residing overseas to return their ballots in time to be counted. It requires the creation of provisional ballots that include a mark identifying the voter. New Hampshire's Constitution guarantees the right to a secret ballot. Marking ballots with a code that identifies the voter is a clear violation of a voter's constitutional right. We should not be abridging this sacred right. Furthermore, this violation will, no doubt, once again be challenged in the courts, costing the state millions of dollars in legal fees. The most recent challenge to SB 3 cost the state $4.2 million in legal fees and the equivalent of two years of full-time lawyers in our Department of Justice. The minority in the Finance Committee cannot support a bill that violates our state constitution and is most certainly going to be challenged in our courts. By changing the rules for same day voter registration SB 418 endangers the exemption New Hampshire enjoys from the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). Compliance with NVRA would require a complete, radical, and expensive change to the way we register voters in New Hampshire. SB 418 is a classic example of a bill that has unintended consequences. Given that implementing this bill will abridge the constitutional rights of some of our citizens, will cause the state to violate two federal laws, and that violation of those federal laws could cost us millions of dollars in legal fees, the loss of federal dollars, and the possible high cost of revamping our voter registration system, the minority cannot support SB 418."}], "source": "House Calendar 17, 2022", "date": "2022-04-29", "dated": "printed", "cite": "HC 17", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2022%5CNo%2017%20April%2029%202022.pdf"}], "docket_reports": [{"date": "2022-03-24", "dated": "signed", "body": "S", "committee": "Election Law and Municipal Affairs", "side": "", "recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "vote_yeas": null, "vote_nays": null, "amendment": "2022-1096s", "new_title": false, "cite": "SC 12", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2022%5CNo%2012%20March%2017%202022.pdf"}, {"date": "2022-03-31", "dated": "signed", "body": "S", "committee": "Election Law and Municipal Affairs", "side": "", "recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "vote_yeas": null, "vote_nays": null, "amendment": "2022-1096s", "new_title": false, "cite": "SC 13", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2022%5CNo%2013%20March%2024%202022.pdf"}], "report_actions": [], "veto_message": null, "bill_note": null, "subject": "Elections", "subject_source": "granite record", "house_committee": "Election Law", "senate_committee": "Election Law and Municipal Affairs", "lsr": "2022-3015", "docket_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=3015&sy=2022&txtsessionyear=2022&txtbillnumber=sb418&sortoption=billnumber", "documents": [{"label": "Bill text", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/billText.aspx?id=2108&txtFormat=html&sy=2022", "kind": "text"}, {"label": "Bill status page", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/Bill_status.aspx?lsr=3015&sy=2022&txtsessionyear=2022&txtbillnumber=sb418&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "status"}, {"label": "Docket", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=3015&sy=2022&txtsessionyear=2022&txtbillnumber=sb418&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "docket"}, {"label": "SC 2", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2022%5CNo%2002%20January%206%202022.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "SC 12", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2022%5CNo%2012%20March%2017%202022.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "SC 13", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2022%5CNo%2013%20March%2024%202022.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "HC 15, page 15", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2022%5CNo%2015%20April%2015%202022.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "House Calendar 17, 2022, committee report", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2022%5CNo%2017%20April%2029%202022.pdf", "kind": "report"}], "amendments": [{"num": "2022-1096s", "kind": "Committee Amendment", "where": "committee", "date": "2022-03-31", "body": "S", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "RC", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "2022-1487h", "kind": "Committee Amendment", "where": "committee", "date": "2022-04-21", "body": "H", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "VV", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "Proposed by the Majority of the Committee on Election Law - r Amend RSA 659:23-a, I as inserted by section 2 of the bill by replacing it with the following: I.

According to the secretary of state, over the past 45 years, New Hampshire has had 44 state elections that ended in a tie or in a one-vote victory. On average, that is almost once per year, not including the 1974 U.S. Senate race that was won by 2 votes - the closest U.S. Senate race in history. This clearly proves that just one improperly cast vote can adversely influence an election each year. Every improperly cast vote invalidates one legal vote. In the 2016 general election, at least 10 illegal ballots were cast by voters who admitted guilt and were prosecuted by the attorney general and counted, including one woman who was caught voting in both Massachusetts and in Plymouth, New Hampshire. She only paid a $500 fine; hardly a deterrent. In that same election, the attorney general's office, after extensive investigation, was unable to verify the identity of 230 qualified and domicile affidavit voters. Allowing unverified votes to count in an election enables the corruption of New Hampshire's electoral process. This must be addressed immediately to restore the integrity of New Hampshire elections.\n\nII. Currently, New Hampshire law allows for votes to be cast and counted by signing an affidavit, even when the voter fails to produce documents to prove his or her identity, or that he or she is a New Hampshire citizen or an inhabitant of that town, city, ward, or district. Although these laws do allow for the post-election investigation of these unverified ballots, this merely identifies when unqualified votes have been cast. It does nothing to prevent the nullification of legitimate votes by the casting, counting, and certification of illegitimate ballots.\n\n239:2 New Section; Election Procedure; Affidavit Ballot. Amend RSA 659 by inserting after section 23 the following new section:\n\n659:23-a Affidavit Ballots.\n\nI. For all elections, if a voter on election day is registering to vote for the first time in New Hampshire and does not have a valid photo identification establishing such voter's identification, or does not meet the identity requirements of RSA 659:13, then such voter shall vote by affidavit ballot pursuant to this section.\n\nII. The authorized election official shall hand the affidavit ballot voter an affidavit voter package and explain its use. The affidavit voter package shall be designed, produced, and distributed by the secretary of state, and shall contain the following:\n\n(a) A prepaid U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail Express (overnight delivery) envelope addressed to the secretary of state for the affidavit voter to return the affidavit verification letter described in subparagraph (b) and any required missing documentation that necessitated voting by affidavit ballot. The return address on this envelope shall be for the office of the secretary of state.\n\n(b) An affidavit voter verification letter, in duplicate form, which lists all the documents required to qualify to vote in the state of New Hampshire. The authorized election official shall mark on both copies of the verification letter which qualifying documents were not provided, thereby necessitating voting by affidavit ballot. One copy of the affidavit verification letter shall be given to the voter; the other copy shall be retained by the authorized election official. The voter shall be required to return their copy of the affidavit verification letter and a copy of any required documentation to the secretary of state in the provided prepaid U.S. Postal Service envelope within 7 days of the date of the election in order for the ballot to be certified.\n\nIII. The moderator shall mark each affidavit ballot \u201cAffidavit Ballot #___\u201d sequentially, starting with the number \u201c1\u201d.\n\nIV. All affidavit ballots shall be cast in person at the polling place, placed in a container designated \u201cAffidavit Ballots,\u201d and hand counted after polls have closed using a method prescribed by the secretary of state for hand counting and confirmation of candidate vote totals. After completion of counting, the moderator shall note and announce the total number of votes cast for each candidate, and the total number of affidavit ballots cast in the election. No later than one day after the election, the moderator shall forward all affidavit ballot verification letters to the secretary of state using a secure means of transmission or delivery.\n\nV. On the seventh day after the election, if an affidavit ballot voter has failed to return the verification letter with the missing voter qualifying documentation to the secretary of state, either in person or using the prepaid U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail Express Envelope, the secretary of state shall instruct the moderator of the town, city, ward, or district in which the affidavit ballot was cast to retrieve the associated numbered affidavit ballot and list on a tally sheet, by candidate or issue, the votes cast on that ballot. The counting of votes on affidavit ballots identified by the secretary of state as unqualified shall be conducted by the town, city, ward, or district using the same methods of counting and observation utilized on the day of the election for hand counted ballots. The votes cast on such unqualified affidavit ballots shall be deducted from the vote total for each affected candidate or each affected issue.\n\nVI. No later than 14 days after the election, any town, city, ward, or district in which any affidavit ballots were cast, and not subsequently verified, shall provide to the secretary of state a summary report, by race or ballot issue, of the total votes cast by the unqualified voters. The total vote minus the unqualified affidavit ballot vote for each race or issue shall be the final vote to be certified by the appropriate certifying authority.\n\nVII. The names of affidavit voters whose verification letters are either not returned to the secretary of state or which do not provide the required voter qualifying information shall be referred by the secretary of state to the New Hampshire attorney general\u2019s office for investigation in accordance with RSA 7:6-c.\n\nVIII. Any written, electronic, or other information related to an affidavit voter who provides the required information verifying their right to vote shall not be subject to disclosure under RSA 91-A or any other law.\n\nIX. All written documentation relating to affidavit ballots shall be delivered to the secretary of state by local election officials in sealed packages using a secure means of transportation and stored pursuant to RSA 659:95 through 659:103.\n\n239:3 New Section; General Provisions for Recounts; Affidavit Ballots. Amend RSA 660 by inserting after section 17 the following new section:\n\n660:17-a Affidavit Ballots; Recounts. In any election or referendum, if the total number of affidavit ballots submitted for any local, district, county, or statewide race or issue would, if counted in favor of either candidate or position, alter the outcome of the election, the deadlines for filing recount requests imposed by RSA 660:1, 660:7, 660:10, 660:12, and 660:13 shall be extended until after the deadline for submitting affidavit verification materials in RSA 659:23-a. In such instance, the secretary of state shall publish new deadlines for filing recounts.\n\n239:4 Election Procedure; Obtaining a Ballot. Amend RSA 659:13, I(c) to read as follows:\n\n(c)(1) If the voter does not have a valid photo identification, the ballot clerk shall direct the voter to see the supervisor of the checklist.\n\n(2) The supervisor of the checklist shall review the voter's qualifications and determine if the voter's identity can be verified.\n\n(3) If the supervisor of the checklist cannot verify the voter's identity, the supervisor of the checklist shall inform the voter that he or she may execute a challenged voter affidavit and cast an affidavit ballot in accordance with RSA 659:23-a. The voter shall receive an explanatory document prepared by the secretary of state explaining the proof of identity requirements. If the voter executes a challenged voter affidavit and casts an affidavit ballot, the ballot clerk shall mark the checklist in accordance with uniform procedures developed by the secretary of state.\n\n[ (2)] (4) If the voter executes a challenged voter affidavit and casts an affidavit ballot, the moderator or the moderator's designee shall take a photograph of the voter and immediately print and attach the photograph to[, and thus make it a part of, the affidavit form. However, if a photograph was taken under RSA 654:12, then a notation shall be made on the challenged voter affidavit stating that the photograph is attached to the qualified voter affidavit or sworn statement on the general election day registration form] the duplicate copy of the affidavit voter verification letter to be delivered to the secretary of state. The photograph shall be 2 inches by 2 inches, or larger, and may be in color or in black and white. The moderator or his or her designee who took the photograph and the voter shall then sign the challenged voter affidavit. The moderator or designee shall delete the photograph from the camera in the presence of the voter. If the moderator or his or her designee is unable to take the voter's photograph due to equipment failure or other cause beyond the moderator's or his or her designee's reasonable control, the voter may execute a challenged voter affidavit and cast an affidavit ballot without a photograph.\n\n[ (3)] (5) If the voter objects to the photograph requirement because of religious beliefs, he or she may execute an affidavit of religious exemption in accordance with RSA 659:13-b, which shall be attested to by an election officer and attached to the challenged voter affidavit.\n\n[ (4)] (6) The person entering voter information into the centralized voter registration database shall cause the records to indicate when a voter has not presented a valid photo identification and has executed a challenged voter affidavit and cast an affidavit ballot.\n\n239:5 Voting Procedure; Obtaining a Ballot. Amend RSA 659:13, II(b) to read as follows:\n\n(b) In addition to the forms of photo identification authorized in subparagraph (a), the identification requirements of paragraph I may be satisfied by verification of the person's identity by a moderator or supervisor of the checklist or the clerk of a town, ward, or city, provided that if any person authorized to challenge a voter under RSA 659:27 objects to such verification, identifies the reason for the objection in writing, and states the specific source of the information or personal knowledge upon which the challenge of the photo identification is based, the voter shall be required to execute a challenged voter affidavit as if no verification was made. When an election official uses personal recognizance as a substitute for required documentation under this section, the moderator or clerk shall print in the margin of the checklist, next to the name of the voter so qualified, one of the following to identify the official who validated the voter: \u201cP-x-AB\u201d where \u201cP\u201d indicates personal recognizance; \u201cx\u201d shall be \u201cM\u201d for moderator or \u201cC\u201d for clerk; and AB are the first and last initials of the moderator or clerk. By initialing the checklist, the moderator or clerk personally affirms, under penalty of perjury, the identity of the voter they are qualifying to vote.\n\n239:6 New Subparagraphs; Voting Procedure; Obtaining a Ballot. Amend RSA 659:13, II by inserting after subparagraph (c) the following new subparagraphs:\n\n(d) The secretary of state shall provide training for supervisors of the checklist on how the nonpublic data in the statewide centralized voter registration database may be used to satisfy voter identification requirements.\n\n(e) The secretary of state shall develop and make available an informational pamphlet explaining the procedure established in RSA 260:21 for obtaining a picture identification card for voter identification purposes only.\n\n239:7 Effective Date.
