Today the Election Law Committee passed SB70 with an amendment. Now it moves to a committee to discuss the amendment. Will blog another update as soon as we have one.

Please listen to Regina Barnes as she explains SB70…

Relative to the establishment of an election information portal and relative to the purchase of election equipment. This bill, sponsored by two senate republicans (Gray & Murphy) will make it easier to hack democracy here in the granite state. 

There is another terrible bill to keep an eye on, SB158. It was retained today which means the ELC (Election Law Committee) needs to do more research on it.
This bill removes the requirement that absentee ballots be placed in outer envelopes unless such ballots are mailed to town or city clerks.  The bill also allows clerks to open outer envelopes to allow applicants time to cure defects.
