State Senators Raise Concerns About Vote Fraud Videos

CONCORD, NH - The recent release of videos by Project Veritas Action revealing potential misinformation at the polls, reported illegal voter registration, and possible voter fraud at the polls during New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation presidential primary, has prompted two state Senators to speak out about the revelations.

State Sen. Sharon Carson, R-Londonderry, and state Sen. Regina Birdsell, R-Hampstead, are calling for hearings and action after the videos depicted election workers providing providing inaccurate procedural information to voters and drive-by voters who don’t live in New Hampshire registering to vote.

“New Hampshire voters deserve to have confidence that their votes count in an election and that they are not diminished by drive-by or out of state voters who decide to cast a ballot in a New Hampshire election,” Carson said in a statement. “The video depicts campaign workers who suggest using a friend’s in-state address in order for an out-of-state citizen to take part and vote in the New Hampshire primary, despite claiming residency in another state.”

Carson added, “I urge the Attorney General’s office, who we know has chosen not to place emphasis and deploy recourse on enforcing election laws, to take these claims seriously and engage in a full investigation. This video clearly indicates a need for tighter and clearer voter eligibility and residency laws in the state providing stronger protections to our voting population.”

Birdsell agreed and urged colleagues to support legislation to project the election process and the sanctity of voters who actually live in New Hampshire.

“The disturbing video recently released clearly shows that we need tougher common sense laws that ensure those who vote in New Hampshire elections have a vested interest in the communities impacted through these elections,” she said. “The Senate recently passed a bill that I co-sponsored, which would address this issue specifically. This bill adds a 30-day voter residency requirement to protect our New Hampshire residents’ votes from instances where drive-by voters or individuals claim temporary residency in our state to vote in our primary or general elections.”
