A very dangerous bill has a public hearing on Tuesday morning. It is urgent that everyone possible reaches out to express opposition to this bill before midnight Tuesday. Taking action is quick and easy using the steps laid out below.  

OPPOSE HB1569-FN, relative to eliminating voter identification exceptions. 

Why Oppose HB1569? HB1569 is a dangerous bill that removes any exceptions for proving voter identification. This bill also removes the voter affidavits as proof of identification and repeals the procedures for affidavit ballots. The current voter affidavit is a powerful legal document with serious consequences that has shown to be safe and secure time and again. It is used successfully and safely to allow voters to cast a ballot if they don’t have physical proof of identity, age, citizenship, or domicile (address). Removing these exceptions would prevent countless voters from being able to register, from people who lost their ID paperwork in a natural disaster, to voters who were unaware their names were purged from the voter checklist, as well as voters who were rushing to make it to the polls amidst their busy lives and simply forgot their documents.  

Officials of both parties and at every level of Government in NH have reiterated that our New Hampshire elections are safe, secure, and free of widespread voter fraud. Numerous studies, reports, and investigations have all confirmed the security of our elections.
