NH Secretary of State to Serve on Trump’s Vote Fraud Panel

CONCORD, NH — The longest serving state secretary of state has been invited to participate in the soon-to-be created Presidential Commission on Election Integrity that will investigate voter fraud in the United States, according to the New Hampshire Union Leader. President Donald Trump, according to the Associated Press, is expected to sign an executive order creating the commission today. Vice President Mike Pence and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach will lead the commission which will eye “allegations of improper voting and fraudulent voter registration in states and across the nation,” according to the report.

The commission was created in the wake of claims that millions of people that were not citizens cast ballots during the 2016 election cycle as well as concerns about pervasive voter fraud across the country. Trump pointed to New Hampshire, a state he lost by less than 1 percent of the vote, as a place where out-of-state residents were allowed to vote, potentially causing him to win the Electoral College but fewer votes.

Gardner, a registered Democrat who has been appointed to the position repeatedly for more than three decades, is the longest serving secretary of state in the nation.

While he has been critical of allegations that there is “wide-spread” voter fraud in the state, he has also raised concerns – and witnessed – voter fraud by way of “drive-by" voters and non-residents voting at the polls. Gardner recently testified in favor of a number of new laws being proposed to tighten the voter registration process in the wake of affidavit provisions added that loosened the state’s voter ID laws.
