Democrat Political Dirty Trickster Indicted for Voter Suppression

Carl Gibson, the Democrat political activist and self-proclaimed investigative journalist who reportedly admitted to attempting to keep people from voting in a special election state representative race earlier this year, has been indicted by a Merrimack County Grand Jury for voter suppression and attempted voter suppression, according to Stephen LaBonte, an assistant attorney general.

Gibson was arrested on a voter suppression charge back in May for emailing media outlets covering the Rockingham District 32 special election and informing them that one of the candidates – Yvonne Dean-Bailey, a Republican – was dropping out. Gibson, a former volunteer for Dean-Bailey’s opponent – former state Rep. Maureen Mann – owned up to the fraud the next day, blaming “one too many beers” for the incident.

“I thought it was funny,” he reportedly told the Concord Monitor at the time. “I didn’t really think it would be taken seriously.”

Dean-Bailey went on to win the seat easily while state Republicans requested an investigation by the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office.

The indictment contends that Gibson “knowingly attempted to induce, or induced, voters to refrain from voting in the special election” by issuing the false press release “thereby leaving the impression with voters that the special election was uncontested.”

Both charges are Class B felonies and carry a maximum sentence of 3.5 to seven years in the New Hampshire State Prison as well as a $4,000 fine.

Ed Naile, a long-time political activist, chairman of the Coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers, and vote fraud hunter, has noted two other peculiar things about Gibson and the case, including multiple voter registrations around the country and the fact that 26 Summit St., his address, doesn’t actually exist, according to the Concord City Clerk’s Office. While the entrance to his apartment is on Summit Street, the legal address for the building is actually Centre Street.
