New Hampshire - 1st in the Nation to vote but last to protect it

​Dear Honorable Members of the NH Senate,
Vote “no” on SB3.

​If passed, SB3 will result in voter suppression and make voting in New Hampshire cumbersome.  The very idea that it could include police (Gestapo tactics?) knocking on doors of registrants to ask for their papers smacks of Third Reich policies from the 1940’s.  It is abhorrent that the New Hampshire Senate has promoted a bill like this.
 
SB3 is a solution in search of a problem based on superficial beliefs with no significant data to back it up. Rationalizing by referencing fake news like bus loads of people coming from Massachusetts to vote in NH is insidious.  There are real problems of cyber security that affect the vote count system demonstrated by Russian email invasions as well as software 'bug' debacles as demonstrated recently by VW.  A problem worthy of a solution is to insure that votes in New Hampshire are recorded accurately.
 
The Diebold-vote machines found in most New Hampshire communities are vulnerable to manipulation and corruption as reported by knowledgeable University software professors. The New Hampshire Legislature refuses to allow sample post-election hand counts to verify our votes have been counted accurately by the machines.  No candidate who runs for election (local, state, and national) in New Hampshire can be confident they won or lost because the legislature is focused on promoting useless, resource-wasting bills like SB3.
 
Pandering to Donald Trump and Chris Sununu may be hazardous to your next election cycle.  Democracy is hard, do your homework.
 
Vote “no” on SB3.
 
Pat and Ray Waterman
