WHAT YOU CAN DO:

1. Contact House State Representatives ASAP to tell them you do not want them to fast-track this back-door effort to remove voters from the electronic ballot counting machine approval process, and you do not want to make a law that cannot be rescinded in the future.  https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/house/members/

• Contact the House Municipal and County Government and House Election Law Committees and ask them to either “Non-Concur” if they believe they cannot get a suitable amendment passed in the House, or “Request a Committee of Conference” and insist on these Voter-First amendments.

Our Constitution still stands… Our Legislature cannot change our Constitution even by updating an Un-Constitutional RSA. If NH is to use voting machines in our elections, we the people need to vote on it at the ballot box, otherwise the use of electronic ballot counting devices remain Un-Constitutional.
