American Democracy Minute for May 6, 2022: NH Voters Become the Latest Victims of the Big Lie as SB 418 Passes Legislature

New Hampshire voters became the latest victims of the Big Lie Wednesday as its 400-seat legislature voted along party lines to adopt SB 418.   The bill throws out the state’s long-standing “Qualified Voter Affidavit” system, which allows a voter with incomplete documentation to sign an affidavit on penalty of fines or imprisonment, and to vote as usual.   Despite no evidence of misuse by the typical 650 voters statewide who must use the system, it will be eliminated if Governor Chris Sununu decides to sign the bill.
