Bitter: Yes, Virginia, New Hampshire Does Have Voter Fraud

Letter writer says the election commission's investigation is long overdue and voting information in NH are public documents.

RYE, NH — Anyone who has ever spent any time at the polls on Election Day will realize exactly how easy it is to commit voter fraud in New Hampshire. The combination of same-day registration, the loose definition of a bonafide voter residency, and the lack of a process for accurately handling provisional ballots, make cheating at the polls a very easy matter. Testimonies by individual witnesses, numerous investigators, and the Secretary of State's own "checking" system all support the presumption that voter fraud exists in New Hampshire.

But the nay-sayers still refuse to see what is right in front of their eyes.

President Donald Trump has appointed an election-integrity commission to look into the allegations of voter fraud in the 2016 presidential election. This investigation will be nationwide — not just in New Hampshire. As part of the investigation, voting records must be reviewed. These records are PUBLIC DOCUMENTS! Why on earth would anyone object to these records being made available to the President's commission?!

Anyone who takes the time to look at the history of voting in New Hampshire with an open mind will understand that this investigation is long-overdue and poses no risk to the voters. Instead, I believe it will shed new light on the voting process in our state; and, ultimately, once the truth is known and the system repaired, it will serve to renew the faith and confidence of the voters.
