HB340: Unnamed Speaker Information Only01:14:28.400 - 10:12:00 AM; The speaker raised concerns about the confusion that might arise from having two different statutes with different definitions of electioneering.

HB340: Unnamed Speaker Information Only01:17:48.800 - 10:15:20 AM; The speaker responded to a question about whether the bill would prohibit communities from using public spaces for candidate forums.

O'Hennessey emphasized the need for clear deterrents and punishments for electioneering to prevent distortion of election outcomes and advocated for the removal of employees involved in such practices.
HB340: Sarah Burke Cohen, New Hampshire Municipal Association Oppose01:27:41.560 - 10:25:13 AM; Sarah Burke Cohen, representing the New Hampshire Municipal Association, opposed HB340, arguing that it is overly broad and vague.

HB340: Brian Hawkins, NEA New Hampshire Information Only01:28:27.000 - 10:25:59 AM; The transcript ends before Brian Hawkins from NEA New Hampshire could speak, so there is no available testimony from this speaker.
HB340: Brian Hawkins, NEA New Hampshire Oppose01:29:00.679 - 10:26:32 AM; Brian Hawkins, representing NEA New Hampshire, spoke in opposition to HB340. He expressed concerns about the proposed expansion of the electioneering statute, specifically citing the changes in section 659:44-A. Hawkins highlighted the addition of the phrases 'in any way designed' and 'having the effect of influencing' as problematic because they significantly broaden the scope of the statute beyond its current form. He noted that these changes could lead to inadvertent violations and subjective interpretations, potentially resulting in misdemeanor charges. He emphasized the vagueness and difficulty in enforcing the proposed changes.
HB160: Representative Burnham, Prime Sponsor of HB160 Support01:34:32.679 - 10:32:04 AM; Representative Burnham, the prime sponsor of HB160, explained that the bill aims to enhance the accountability of absentee ballots by requiring their tabulation before distribution and at the close of election day, similar to official election ballots. She argued that this would provide more confidence in the election process and noted that many clerks already track absentee ballots, suggesting that implementing this process would be straightforward. She addressed questions about the bill, clarifying that the total number of ballots received is counted on the post-election certificate and that the pre-election certificate would also include information about spoiled and remaining absentee ballots.
HB160: Aaron Hennessy, Deputy Secretary of State Information Only01:39:39.760 - 10:37:11 AM; Aaron Hennessy, Deputy Secretary of State, provided an overview of the existing pre-election and post-election certificates, pointing out potential issues with HB160. He explained that the current certificates are designed to ensure that the correct number of official ballots is available and that electronic ballot counting devices are tested before elections. Hennessy expressed concern that including post-election information on the pre-election certificate could confuse clerks and moderators. He suggested either a separate certificate or worksheet for absentee ballot tracking and highlighted several missing data points in the proposed bill, such as the use of absentee ballots as official election day ballots, unreturned or rejected absentee ballots, and duplicate mailings. He also noted that removing the ballots cast information from the return of votes form could complicate election night reconciliation.
HB160: Joan Hamlet, Moderator of Portsmouth Ward 3 Oppose01:48:37.599 - 10:46:09 AM; Joan Hamlet, a prior member of the election law committee and current moderator of Portsmouth Ward 3, spoke against Section 1 of HB160 regarding the pre-election certificate. She emphasized the purpose of the certificate, which is to confirm that electronic ballot counting devices and memory devices were tested and sealed before the election, and that the number of blank ballots delivered to the polling place was counted before the election began. She argued that absentee ballots should not be included in the pre-election certificate as they are already meticulously recorded elsewhere, and including them would unnecessarily complicate the certificate. She recommended voting the bill as inexpedient to legislate.
HB160: Daniel Hy, Nashua City Clerk, New Hampshire City and Town Clerks Association Oppose01:51:46.000 - 10:49:18 AM; Daniel Hy, representing the New Hampshire City and Town Clerks Association, opposed the bill, reiterating that having the number of ballots at the close of polls on the pre-election certificate does not make sense. He highlighted the issue of military and overseas absentee ballots (UOCAVA) that are emailed out, suggesting that these should be considered in any election inventory. He confirmed that he already inventories ballots upon receipt from the Secretary of State but pointed out the complexities introduced by emailed ballots.
HB160: Dave Nelson, Derry Town Moderator Oppose01:54:01.000 - 10:51:33 AM; Dave Nelson, the Derry Town Moderator, opposed the inclusion of the number of absentee ballots, spoiled ballots, and remaining ballots at the close of polls on the pre-election certificate. He argued that this information is typically completed before the election and should not be part of the pre-election certificate but could be considered for the post-election certificate.
HB67: Representative Weary Support02:20:45.359 - 11:18:17 AM; Representative Weary moved that HB67 ought to pass. He argued that the pilot program for accessible voting machines is scheduled for the second half of the year, coinciding with several city elections. He emphasized the urgency of protecting vulnerable voters, as mentioned by Governor Sununu in her inaugural address, and believed that delaying implementation until 2026 was unnecessary. He supported moving forward with the bill to ensure the protection of vulnerable voters.
HB67: Representative Pram O'Brien Support02:23:16.240 - 11:20:48 AM; Representative Pram O'Brien supported the motion to pass HB67.

She stressed the importance of protecting the right to a private vote for all citizens, particularly the visually impaired community, despite challenges mentioned by the Secretary of State's office.
HB160: Representative Burnham Support02:26:32.680 - 11:24:04 AM; Representative Burnham moved that HB160 ought to pass.

HB160: Representative L Oppose02:27:18.760 - 11:24:50 AM; Representative L opposed the current form of HB160, arguing that the bill should be amended based on the testimony from clerks, the municipal association, and the Secretary of State. He believed the bill, as it stood, was against the advice of these groups and would unnecessarily burden moderators.
HB261: Representative Lane Support02:30:41.840 - 11:28:13 AM; Representative Lane, the bill's sponsor, apologized for not participating in the hearing due to committee responsibilities. He explained that HB261 aims to change the timing of election audits from before to after recounts. This change is intended to reduce waiting times for volunteers involved in recounts, making the process more efficient. He described the bill as straightforward and not particularly exciting.
HB261: Representative Howard Support02:32:12.720 - 11:29:44 AM; Representative Howard expressed support for HB261, citing personal experience with a recount that was delayed due to the timing of audits. He noted the inefficiency of the current system and endorsed the change to improve the process.
HB261: Representative C Support02:32:59.520 - 11:30:31 AM; Representative C supported HB261, explaining the original intent behind election audits was convenience due to open ballot boxes during recounts. He emphasized that the audit is secondary to the recount, aligning with the bill's aim to prioritize the recount process.
HB340 2025-2029h: Representative L Support02:35:19.720 - 11:32:51 AM; Representative L introduced HB340, explaining the amendment addresses a numeration error and broadens the definition of electioneering. He criticized the Department of Justice for a narrow interpretation of the existing law, which he believes goes against the original legislative intent. He provided examples of alleged abuses, such as the Gtown Public Library survey and an SAU39 video project aimed at influencing a ballot measure. He stressed the need for public employees to remain neutral in their official capacities and clarified that the bill does not affect non-electioneering public events. He responded to concerns about the bill's impact on neutral polls, asserting that only polls designed to influence votes would be restricted.
HB340 2025-2029h: Representative Ward Oppose02:46:10.319 - 11:43:42 AM; Representative Ward expressed concerns that HB340 might inadvertently outlaw the work of the UNH Survey Center. He argued that polls, even if neutral, can influence voter decisions, and the bill's wording might be interpreted to restrict such activities, particularly under the section about organizing or conducting political surveys.
