No it’s not. Why should you get to help to determine the outcome of two separate representative races? The “election” is the whole kit and kaboodle. Your right to vote is based entirely on your right to representation. Your right to representation is ONE representative, ONE senator, ONE POTUS, etc. You’re getting more than your due and TAKING more than other people are getting if you vote in two separate races within the same election. Where does that end? How many races should you get to vote in per election? Asking for a friend…
Because the law of both jurisdictions allows it, and federal law doesn’t prohibit it. QED.
The federal law contains language easily…and correctly…interpreted to prohibit it. Again, they haven’t tried to prosecute anyone under it yet. GQP will probably get around to it though come 2025.

Your attempted reading of the statue is wish fulfillment, nothing more.
No more no less than yours. There’s no precedent. But I get it…you’re a sometimes apologist for these freaks.
He appears to have nothing to apologize for, unless either claim to residency was fraudulent.
Nah… he’s just a pedantic boor with a daily unhealthy BAC.
I said that in my first post. The debate was purely hypothetical as to what would be the preferable interpretation of a law that has never been challenged to be interpreted. The practical reality is, yes, of course, like I said initially…have fun proving or disproving the residency/domicile intent, however you want to phrase it.
Were I Mower’s opponent I might also lean into “he wants to rep NH but he lives with his parents in Jersey!” angle.
“Carpetbagger” is a potent attack in most places, but It’s my understanding that NH is particularly unwelcoming of outsiders who move to the state in adulthood.

Yes, indeed. I moved to NH seven years ago. I’ll always be an outsider. Pappas should definitely lean into the carpetbagger/outsider attack.

There are families who’ve been there for several generations and are still referred to as “incomers”.

I did the same thing! Made sure I voted early, then closed on the new house on Nov. 2, but didn’t move in until a couple of weeks later and waited to file the change of address. I just changed counties, but since I was moving from a blue county to a red one, I still worried about it.
Had this been posted by anyone else, I would have up-thumbed it.
What he did was vote in three elections in which he was allowed to cast his ballots. The horror!
Speak for your own self. If I vote in the Iowa presidential caucus and move to Florida in May, I am definitely voting in that state’s primary too. I mean, their own law makes me eligible to vote!
There is nothing morally wrong about voting in two different primaries if you are eligible to do so. Withholding your second vote cures no injustice visited upon the electorate of either state.
Can you say: Masshole? I knew you could.
I love hearing this from non-native Granite Staters. I’m not immune to the attitude, but I try to not use the expression. Plenty of assholes to go around, in and from a variety of zip codes. Of course in Maine, the term “from away” is generally not a compliment.

Ha ha! Spent a year in Boston just after college. They really are markedly worse drivers than anywhere else I’ve been (on regular streets, anyway,for freeway driving I-80 Provo to Salt Lake was scarier). The people were generally nice, although I mostly interacted with fellow new arrivals

Like other pro-Trump Republicans running for office, Mowers has been trying to sow doubt about the legitimacy of the U.S. elections process by baselessly suggesting — if not loudly claiming — that elections are in danger of being corrupted by fraudsters
… … … … …
Well Mowers otta know about fraud it seems.
I think eligibility to vote was not high on Mowers’ list of things to worry much about. Now, I am not saying if he was eligible, just that it wasn’t a huge thing for him. Honesty is in short supply in a whole lot of places no matter what the political party.

I will readily agree that both those registrations are suspicious.
