Did Donald Trump win the state of New Hampshire last year? Did incumbent Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte win re-election?
Well, that depends on whose votes we are counting.
From Rowan Scarborough’s article in the Washington Times:
More than 6,500 people registered to vote in New Hampshire on Nov. 8 using out-of-state driver’s licenses, and since then the vast majority have neither obtained an in-state license nor registered a motor vehicle.
Conservatives say the state’s same-day registration is an invitation for fraud because of loose proof-of-residence rules.
New Hampshire House Speaker Shawn Jasper, a Republican, issued the numbers Thursday based on inquiries he made to the Department of State, which oversees elections, and the Department of Safety.
Though Mr. Jasper’s findings don’t prove those accusations, they do corroborate them. The numbers read this way:
⦁ 6,540 people registered and voted on Nov. 8, based on presenting out-of-state licenses.
⦁ As of Aug. 30, about 15 percent (1,014 of the voters) had been issued New Hampshire driver’s licenses.
⦁ Οf the remaining 5,526, barely more than 200 (3.3 percent) had registered a motor vehicle in New Hampshire.
New Hampshire law gives drivers 60 days upon establishing residence to obtain a state license.
But more than 80 percent of voters who registered on Nov. 8 using out-of-state driver’s licenses, or 5,313 of them, neither had a state license nor registered a motor vehicle almost 10 months later.’
In the presidential race, Democrat Hillary Clinton defeated Republican Donald Trump in New Hampshire by 2,736 votes. In an even tighter race, for the Granite State’s U.S. Senate seat, Democratic challenger Maggie Hassan defeated incumbent Republican Kelly Ayotte by 1,017 votes.
At least two scientific surveys show that a larger number of noncitizens register and vote illegally in U.S. elections. One poll found that a large majority vote Democrat.
Does this surprise you?
Are you shocked to find out that, if given the chance, people will vote illegally?
Are you shocked that the party which fights tooth and nail to make it as easy as possible to perpetrate voter fraud, and to prevent a Voter ID requirement – the Democrat Party – is most likely to gain from its logical consequence of illegal voting?
Anyone who truly believes that voter fraud does not exist in the United States is delusional. And anyone who believes that there is no connection between voter fraud and the political party which demands that opportunities for voter fraud is maximized, is either a fool or someone who does not care whether elections are legitimate as long as that party’s candidates wind up in office.
So shouldn’t they change the rule, have a recall and then a special election to remedy this problem?
