Many Granite Staters are waiting for the Department of Justice review of the new Voter ID Law passed by the NH Legislature this year. Many other states are talking about new Voter ID laws and how this is movement to restrict voters in a false claim of voter fraud.
Even Lynn Christensen, town moderator in Merrimack said, " I don’t believe there’s widespread voter fraud. I don’t believe there’s fraud in this town". She continued "There is not voter fraud however Voter ID laws will prevent good people from voting."
According to the AFGE Research (video):
25% of African Americans do not have a state issued id.
15% of people making less than $35,000 last year do not have a state issued id.
18% of people between 18-24 do not have a state issued id with the correct address. 18% of seniors do not have a valid state issued id.
These Voter ID could effect as many as 21 Million people nation wide.
We need to protect these people and their Constitutional right to vote. If we do not then it will give the 1% more opportunity to push anti-worker legislation.
