NH Dems Decline to Defend HR1 as NHGOP Attempts to Block It<\/strong>
\nPosted to News at NH Journal May 19, 2021 by Andrew Mahaleris.<\/em><\/p>\n

If the \u201cFor the People\u201d Act is good for New Hampshire, why won\u2019t U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas testify on its behalf?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s the questions some in Concord are asking as all four Democrats in the state\u2019s federal delegation declined requests to defend H.R. 1<\/p>\n

Republicans in the New Hampshire House are looking to change election laws in an effort to counter H.R. 1, the massive federal election overhaul from Democrats in Congress. On Wednesday, House Election Law Committee chair Rep. Barbara Griffin (R- Goffstown) sponsored an amendment to SB 89<\/a> requiring state and county elections taking place in New Hampshire be conducted using New Hampshire election law, not the federal government\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Griffin\u2019s amendment was passed along party lines in an 11-8 vote.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Notably absent: Any word from U.S. Sens. Hassan and Shaheen, who support the federal bill to override state election laws; or U.S. Reps. Annie Kuster and Pappas, both of whom have already voted for the bill and claim it\u2019s necessary to stop state laws that are \u201cworse than Jim Crow.\u201d
\nAll were invited to testify, live or via Zoom, or to submit testimony to the committee. They all declined.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_1870\" <\/a><\/p>\n

For a bill with such a noble purpose, Republicans noted, the congressional Democrats who support it are notably silent.<\/strong>
\n\u201cToday I asked several times where our federal delegation is,\u201d state Rep. Ross Berry (R-Manchester) said during the hearing. \u201cWhy couldn\u2019t they be bothered to come and speak about this amendment and the \u2018For the People\u2019 Act? Not even one submitted a written statement or sent a surrogate to speak on their behalf. We also heard today that none of them have spoken to the secretary of state\u2019s office about how this would affect New Hampshire or why they are supporting it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under H.R. 1, federal law would ban states like New Hampshire from:<\/strong>
\n\u2014 Requiring voter ID.
\n\u2013 Requiring ID in order to register to vote.
\n\u2013 Requiring mail-in ballots to be witnessed; or
\n\u2013 Prohibiting or restrict \u201cballot harvesting,\u201d the practice of campaign or party workers collecting ballots from voters and turning them in.<\/p>\n

By opposing a federal mandate for these policies, Democrats say, Republicans are practicing voter suppression. State Democratic Chairman Ray Buckley called the GOP\u2019s vote on Wednesday \u201cvoter disenfranchisement pure and simple.\u201d Former state Sen. Melanie Levesque (D-Brookline) says New Hampshire is \u201cone of 43 states proposing voter suppression laws.\u201d<\/p>\n

Secretary of State Bill Gardner (D) first told NHJournal the delegation has never asked him about the legislation, despite its direct impact on New Hampshire elections. Deputy Secretary of State David Scanlan, who testified in favor of the GOP amendment, told the committee the delegation still had not spoken to the office about H.R.1.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis would change every area of our election process, and really it would not be recognizable in the future as it would be today,\u201d Scanlan said. That directly contradicts claims by Hassan that H.R. 1 \u201creally doesn\u2019t change the way New Hampshire would run its elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe senator is either lying or ignorant as to the effects of [the bill],\u201d Berry told the committee.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a survey of New Hampshire town clerks \u2014 the officials charged with conducting elections \u2014 found they overwhelmingly oppose the bill.<\/p>\n

Election Law Committee Democrats warned that if H.R. 1 and the GOP\u2019s proposed amendment are both signed into law, New Hampshire could find itself in a situation where it will have to hold elections under two separate laws, state and federal.<\/p>\n

If so, New Hampshire would use its own laws for elections to state and county elections, and federal law for elections to congressional seats.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe amendment passed today by Election Law Republicans is blatantly unconstitutional and would turn New Hampshire\u2019s elections into a logistical nightmare,\u201d said Deputy Minority Leader David Cote (D-Nashua), the ranking Democrat on the committee. \u201cEven separating the two elections could be unconstitutional and would be extremely costly for both the state and local communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Republicans insisted it was Congress and Democrats like Hassan and Pappas who are putting the state in this position.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe amendment to SB 89 will prevent federal overreach, uphold the integrity of our election process, and ensure that New Hampshire remains in charge of its elections, not the Federal Government,\u201d Griffin said after passage. \u201cRepublicans will make sure to let Washington D.C. know that H.R. 1\/S.1 does not uphold the values of the American people, rather, it\u2019s another attempt at total control.\u201d<\/p>\n

New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman Stephen Stepanek praised the amendment\u2019s passage and called on the state\u2019s U.S. senators to reject the H.R,1.<\/p>\n

\u201cH.R.1 dismantles the successful election processes we\u2019ve fine-tuned over centuries, inherently undermining voter confidence state-wide. While our secretary of state and several town clerks have openly expressed their well-founded opposition to H.R.1, our own federal delegation remains silent on the rationale of their support,\u201d said Stepanek. <\/p>\n

The Election Law Committee also passed the entire SB89 election omnibus legislation, including Griffin\u2019s amendment, on a party-line vote. It will be voted on by the full House in early June.<\/strong><\/p>\n
