For years, the mainstream media has ignored the problem of v***r f***d and belittled those of us who are trying to do something about it. And when secretaries of state like me identify cases of fraud, we are told that the number of incidents of v***r f***d is too insignificant to matter.
Now, however, facts have come to light that indicate that a pivotal, close e******n was likely changed through v***r f***d on November 8, 2016: New Hampshire’s U.S. Senate Seat, and perhaps also New Hampshire’s four e*******l college v**es in the p**********l e******n.

New Hampshire is one of fifteen states that allow same-day v***r r**********n. The benefit of same-day registration is that it allows a person who has procrastinated or has forgotten to register to nonetheless cast a b****t on e******n day. The downside of same-day registration is that it does not allow the state time to assess the eligibility of the v**er. A volunteer poll worker simply accepts a modicum of identification and takes the v**er at his word that he’s a U.S. citizen resident of the state who is eligible to v**e.

New Hampshire is also a battleground state. Unlike neighboring Massachusetts and Vermont, which reliably v**e for the Democrat in p**********l e******ns, New Hampshire can swing either way. It has long been reported, anecdotally, that out-of-staters take advantage of New Hampshire’s same-day registration and head to the Granite State to cast fraudulent v**es.


Now there’s proof.

According to statistics released by the Speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, on the date of the general e******n in November 2016, there were 6,540 same-day registrants who registered to v**e in New Hampshire using an out-of-state driver’s license to prove their identity. In and of itself, that doesn’t prove that any fraud occurred – theoretically, each of those individuals could have been someone who recently moved to the State and had not yet had time to get a New Hampshire driver’s license. According to New Hampshire law, a new resident has 60 days to obtain a New Hampshire driver’s license.

So if those 6,540 v**ers were bona fide New Hampshire residents, they would get their driver’s license no later than January 7, 2017. However, the numbers tell a very different story. It turns out that, as of August 30, 2017 – nearly ten months after the e******n – only 1,014 of the 6,540 same-day registrants who registered with an out-of-state license had obtained a New Hampshire driver’s license. The other 5,526 individuals never obtained a New Hampshire driver’s license. And, of those 5,526, only 213 registered a vehicle in New Hampshire.

So 5,313 of those v**ers neither obtained a New Hampshire driver’s license nor registered a vehicle in New Hampshire. They have not followed the legal requirements for residents regarding driver’s licenses, and it appears that they are not actually residing in New Hampshire. It seems that they never were bona fide residents of the State.

5,513 is a big number – more than enough to swing two very important e******ns. The closest major e******n was the contest between incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte and challenger Maggie Hassan (D). Hassan won the e******n by a razor-thin margin of 1,017 v**es. Those 5,313 fraudulent v**es were more than enough to swing the e******n. If 59.2 percent or more of them went for Hassan, then the e******n was s****n through v***r f***d. That’s likely, since the surrounding states are Democrat strongholds.

It’s also possible that New Hampshire’s four e*******l college v**es were swung to Hillary Clinton through illegal v****g by nonresidents. Clinton won New Hampshire by only 2,732 v**es. If 74.8 percent of the 5,513 fraudulent v**es were cast for Clinton, then the p**********l e******n in New Hampshire was tipped as well.

If the p**********l contest had been closer and had come down to a margin of three or four e*******l college v**es, then this v***r f***d might have had extraordinary consequences. Regardless, in the Senate contest, it is highly likely that v****g by nonresidents changed the result.

And that is already having consequences for the nation. If the 52-48 Republican-Democrat balance in the Senate were 53-47, it could change the balance in any number of v**es – not the least of which would be the effort to repeal Obamacare.

But the mainstream media will tell us, “Move along, there’s nothing to see here.” V***r f***d virtually never occurs.

I had moved from New Jersey to Texas some years ago, and I arrived in Texas on October 4th... I Registered to V**e on the 11th of October, and was told I was ineligible to V**e in the November General E******ns because V**ers had to be Registered within their District prior to October 1st in order for the District to update their V***r R**********n Rolls... Although I received my V***r R**********n Card in the mail the following week, I understood the Law and didn't V**e in the General E******n that year...

I believe this is a sane and rational approach to avoid V***r F***d, and I wish the 15 States with "Day of Registration" reconsider the balance between Citizens' Right to V**e against Citizens' V**er Integrity being upheld...
