Another disasterous new voting restriction

HB 1482
Relative to the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program. 
This bill authorizes the Secretary of State to enter into an agreement to share voter information and data through the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program. This program was created by Kris Kobach, the Secretary of State in Kansas. Florida and Oregon have dropped out of the program, stating that they felt the data they received was unreliable. 


In 2013, 40,000 Virginia voters were purged from the voter list just weeks before election day. This program has been used to generate hysteria about voter fraud, something that is actually quite rare. We are sorry to report that NH will be participating in this program (but not before the 2016 election).

The governor signed this measure into law on June 3.  AFSC
