To The Daily Sun,

Before you call Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen to tell them to vote for The Freedom To Vote Act, make sure you read it. It takes control of elections away from the states and gives it to the federal government, a clear violation of the U.S. Constitution. It mandates all of the cheating-inducing things, such as mail-in balloting, that were allowed last year. Writer Jay Newton states requiring face-to-face voter registration is too difficult. Not true. He disingenuously claims absentee registration is too difficult also. Both are minor points compared to the other disastrous requirements contained in the bill. All a ruse to get support for this horrible, unconstitutional, piece of legislation. Do not be fooled. If you want to maintain the integrity of our elections, call Hassan and Shaheen and tell them that the FTVA is bad for New Hampshire and bad for the country.

Cheat-inducing? People do not cheat at voting, it's too complicated with our local election officials watching over the process and the the penalties are severe. In NH, it’s a class B Felony with a minimum 30 day sentence and up to a $5000.00 fine for the first offense. Please check the Attorney General's website for the last time they prosecuted someone for illegal voting. President Trump commissioned a huge study and found nothing. It should should be easy to vote. It should easier to vote (protected by 4 amendments) than it is to buy a gun (protected by one amendment).
