This is my district. I, of course will not be voting in the republican primary.
I will instead be voting against the incumbent Chris Pappas in the democratic primary. Stupid fucker is one of only two democrats to vote against legal weed. So he voted to affirm many of his constituents should continue to be be considered federal criminals.
I’d bet that if one were to park a campaign volunteer in Mass/Maine at the dispensaries along the border(s) of the 1st district there would be many NH residents interested in what that person has to say.
He is unopposed at the moment, but no matter he wont get a primary vote from me. (I’m not a nihilist, so if he wins the primary, as a Democrat he of course gets my vote)
Don’t be so defensive. You’re asserting that the article is incorrect. So cite the provision of the law that makes it incorrect. That’s what lawyers do, or at least what we did before I retired.
Which means it’s definitely time to start investigating the child porn activities of Mr Joshua Hawley, Mr Lindsey Graham, and Mr Raphael (“Ted”) Cruz. Maybe Ms Marsha Blackburn, too. They sure seem to know a lot about it.
I think voting in one primary, moving, then voting in another primary in not necessarily unethical if you aremoving legitimately and the calender is such that is what plays out.
This presumes they don’t cast ballots in both jurisdictions on General election day.
Apparently, according to the article, you don’t have to dive into either state’s laws.
It’s a Federal law he may have broken.
The question here is: what exactly does “same candidacy” mean? Are two different primaries, in two different states considered the “same candidacy.”
I’d say 60/40 “no”
Legal experts say Mowers’ actions could violate a federal law that prohibits “voting more than once” in “any general, special, or primary election.” That includes casting a ballot in separate jurisdictions “for an election to the same candidacy or office.”
Hawley is a holier than thou, younger version of Cruz. Now if there was some way to pit them against each other…popcorn sales would be through the roof!
Mowers’ campaign lists “election integrity” as a top issue on its website
Isn’t there a single authentiic problem that the GOP is concerned about?
“Election integrity,” “Critical Race Theory,” “Kindergarten Sex Ed,” “Replacement Theory,” “Selling baby parts,” when was the last time they actually talked about anything that was not aimed at a problem that was one of the chimeras of their own imagination?
Actually, all they said was that the circumstances you described were different than the circumstances outlined in the article. As far as I can see, she didn’t "opine" on the law one bit.
Something about intent needs to be inserted in this question. If you live in place A and vote in that primary, and then go rent an apt in place B so as to vote in that primary…well that’s seemingly like gaming the system. But I can see the possibility if say you have a house in St. Louis City/County-but then go rent an apartment across the river in IL. Same for the KC metro area.
And somehow I don’t see requiring a photo ID would be able to catch/stop this activity.
Should I look for them this afternoon when I stop by the pot shop in Ashby (MA) this afternoon, to leave some of my own $ with the town and Commonwealth? I understand Jeanne Shaheen is a bit confused on the legalization question also. What ever happened to collecting sin taxes from the neighboring states as a reliable revenue source in NH? We’re being beaten at our own game.
You don’t even get to “same candidacy or office” (sub 3) unless the NH and NJ primaries are “an election” (sub 1, note the singular use of the noun). This schmuck did not vote more than once in “an election.” He voted in two separate primary elections. The statute does not prohibit that. And I would wager that there are tens of thousands of people who change their states of residence every primary season who get to do the same thing without incident.
Would it be justifiable for states or the feds to prohibit eligible voters from voting in a primary if they had previously voted in another primary for federal office ? Maybe, but they mostly haven’t. I don’t think it’s really so much of a problem to justify criminalizing it. After all, don’t we want transplanted voters to be able to help choose who their new state and local nominees will be?
Back in the 70’s there was Gov. Meldrim Thompson who wanted the state to have its own nuclear weapons and the publisher of the Union Leader William Loeb called Henry Kissinger a kike on the front page of the paper. Those folks seem quaint and reasonable compared to the ignorant meal team six brigade that you rightfully confronted.
Now if there was some way to pit them against each other…popcorn sales would be through the roof!
