PLYMOUTH, NH – The New Hampshire Circuit Court has ruled that the border patrol checkpoint that occurred in August 2017 on Interstate 93 in Woodstock, New Hampshire was “unconstitutional under both State and federal law.”  Woodstock is a small town (population 1,374) in the White Mountains—a popular tourist attraction—that is approximately 90 driving miles from the Canadian border. 

The NH Senate Election Law and Internal Affairs held a hearing today on SB439, which would end New Hampshire’s participation in the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Systemand protect Granite Staters’ voter data from hacking, tampering, and theft. Crosscheck, run by the state of Kansas, is allegedly designed to identify names that are registered in more than one state. However, it utilizes minimal security in protecting the voting data, and is notorious for producing far more false positives than actual double registrants. It is a flawed, vulnerable, and expensive program. Moreover, in September, the NH Secretary of State’s office erroneously told supervisors of the voter checklist that they could remove voters flagged by Crosscheck without providing notification.
