Trumpers!
We all know what happened in 2020. Let’s make sure that President Trump WINS in NH in November! He NEEDS our four electoral votes! The best way to do that other than voting for HIM, of course! is to get involved in the election process. Below is a message from Michael McEleney of the NH Trump Campaign. Please consider volunteering and getting trained, if you haven’t done so already.
Best Regards,
Rep. Lilli Walsh, Trump Campaign Rockingham County Chair
Election Integrity!!
The headline was echoed throughout November and December of 2020 and has been a theme of many Republicans for the past four years.
In New Hampshire, we’ve taken some important steps to improve our election integrity through various pieces of legislation. However, it’s not enough. We need boots on the ground to ensure our elections are secure.
So if you are one of the many who believe that we need to do a better job this time. HAVE I GOT A JOB FOR YOU!
You can volunteer to be a Poll Watcher, Poll Challenger, or Inspector of the Election. We can use at least 5 people at every voting location. Can I count on you to help? Use the link to sign up.

Role Descriptions
Inspector of Election (as defined by RSA 658)
658:3 Qualifications. – The inspectors of election shall be registered to vote at the polling place where they serve.
658:4 Oath; Term. – Each inspector of election shall be sworn to the faithful performance of his or her duties and shall hold office for 2 years from August 1 in the year in which he or she is appointed or until a successor is appointed and qualified.
658:25 – Designation of Ballot Clerks. – Two of the inspectors, one from each of the 2 political parties, shall be designated by the moderator at the opening of the polls to act as ballot clerks. They shall have charge of the ballots and shall furnish them to the voters. They shall be given a duplicate copy of the checklist by the town or ward clerk. The other inspectors shall be assigned such duties in the polling place as the moderator may determine including, but not limited to, the relief of the ballot clerks and the assistance of voters marking their ballots as provided in RSA 659:20.
Poll Challenger (as defined by RSA 666)
Challengers Appointed by Party Committee. – The state committee of a political party may appoint a person to act as challenger of voters at any polling place in the state at a state election. A city or town committee of such a party may appoint a person to act as such challenger at any polling place in such city or town at a town election, business meeting, or city election. A statement signed by the chairman of the committee appointing him shall be sufficient evidence of the authority of any such challenger. He may be reasonably compensated for his services by the political party whose committee appointed him. He shall be assigned by the moderator or other election officer presiding at the polling place to such position within the polling place as will enable him to see and hear each voter as he offers to vote. Nothing herein contained shall deprive any other person of the right to challenge a voter as provided by law.
Poll Watcher
Any member of the public has a right to observe the conduct of an election from
outside the rail. These individuals are colloquially known as “Poll Observers” or
“Poll Watchers.” These observers do not have any special legal status. Anyone present, who has not been officially designated a “challenger” (see above) in writing by the state chair of a political party, but is present on behalf of a political party or candidate may be called a poll watcher or observer. Such an individual has the same status as any other member of the public, even if they are present at the request of a political party and performing poll watching functions. Poll watching functions include, but are not limited to, tracking who has voted and reporting this back to get-out-the-vote efforts or monitoring the conduct of the election and reporting concerns back to a
political party election day legal operation. Well, conducted political party election day legal operations often help moderators quickly identify concerns with election procedures or election official performance.
Thank you for considering these important jobs.
