HB463: Representative Robert Warry, Hudson Support00:02:22.680 - 9:01:38 AM; Representative Warry introduced HB463 on behalf of the sponsor, who was unavailable. He explained that the bill aims to enhance trust in local election recounts by addressing potential conflicts of interest. Currently, the same board members who draft and recommend warrant articles also serve on the recount board for those articles, which could undermine confidence in the process. He cited an example where school board members made errors during a recount, suggesting that such incidents can spoil trust in the system. HB463 proposes that for school ballot recounts, the school board and other impartial appointees appointed by the moderator should form the recount board, and similarly for town ballot recounts, the select board and neutral appointees should be involved, ensuring no overlap and promoting fairness.
HB463: Deputy Secretary Aaron Hennessy Information Only00:07:01.759 - 9:06:17 AM; Aaron Hennessy, the Deputy Secretary of State, clarified that the bill would change the current recount process by involving the select board in school board election recounts and vice versa. He noted that this is not the current practice and wanted to make the committee aware of the change the bill would implement. He was open to answering questions about the bill.
HB463: Unidentified Information Only00:08:09.680 - 9:07:25 AM; The speaker expressed concern about the composition of school boards across multiple towns and the potential requirement for a non-resident school board member to conduct a recount of a town's election. This was in response to an earlier question posed to the bill's sponsor.
HB420: Unidentified Information Only00:09:28.920 - 9:08:44 AM; The speaker announced the adjournment of the public hearing for HB463 and the scheduling of the next public hearing for HB420 at 10:20 a.m. They mentioned that one person was in favor of the bill and shared online testimony statistics, with 13 in support and 7 opposed.
HB420: Unidentified Information Only00:13:50.920 - 9:13:06 AM; The speaker acknowledged the presence of a Dartmouth Civics group at the election law hearing, expressing appreciation for their interest and hoping their time would be both instructive and interesting.
HB420: Unidentified Information Only00:20:27.640 - 9:19:43 AM; The speaker confirmed that the pledge had been done and announced the opening of the public hearing for HB420, which is relative to the chain of custody for ballots.

HB420: Travis Toner, Belmont Information Only00:21:52.480 - 9:21:08 AM; Representative Travis Toner introduced House Bill 420, which focuses on the chain of custody for ballots. He mentioned that he would not be taking any questions following his introduction.
HB420: Erin Hennessy, Deputy Secretary of State Information Only00:22:37.200 - 9:21:53 AM; Erin Hennessy, the Deputy Secretary of State, discussed the potential fiscal impact of HB420, estimating costs between $5,000 and $220,000 annually for purchasing reusable containers. She mentioned a pilot program conducted in Sandborn, where the town found the containers easy to use for local elections. Hennessy sought clarification on terms like 'reusable security containers' and 'serialized proprietary sealers' used in the bill, as the current seals used are not serialized. She explained the existing process for the custody of ballot boxes during recounts or audits and highlighted the need for clarification on the bill's language regarding custody after the Secretary of State's office takes possession. She responded to various questions from committee members about the practicality and security of current and proposed ballot containers.
HB420: Unknown Speaker Information Only00:31:55.840 - 9:31:11 AM; The speaker discussed the storage of ballots in other states, mentioning that cardboard boxes are commonly used. They reached out to colleagues across the country to find a standard container for ballots, which should be lightweight for ease of handling. They noted that Maine uses stackable metal containers in some locations, but they do not recommend metal due to its weight and potential danger. The speaker suggested that there might be a business opportunity in creating a standard ballot container.
HB420: Unknown Speaker Information Only00:32:57.880 - 9:32:13 AM; The speaker addressed a question about the serialization of ballot boxes, explaining that current cardboard boxes are not serialized. Instead, boxes are labeled with sequential numbers indicating their total count, such as 'box one of 20.' This system helps clerks maintain a log of the boxes securely stored in their office.
HB492: Timothy Horgan, Strafford County District 10, Durham Support00:40:26.319 - 9:39:42 AM; Representative Timothy Horgan from Strafford County, District 10, introduced HB 492, which addresses recounts in write-in primaries. He recounted an incident from the September 10, 2024, state primary in Strafford County where no Republican candidates filed for the District 3 county commissioner race. A Democrat, George McIss, received enough write-in votes to be listed on the Republican column in the general election. Horgan mentioned that the Republican Party's request for a recount was denied due to lack of standing under current law. The bill aims to allow state party committees to request recounts in similar situations, with the parties covering the costs. Horgan emphasized the bill's simplicity and its potential to foster bipartisanship.
HB492: Representative Lane Information Only00:47:27.480 - 9:46:43 AM; Representative Lane asked what would happen if an independent candidate was involved in a similar situation. Horgan responded that independents cannot file in a primary but can be nominated through write-ins, citing an example of Michael York, a state librarian who ran as a Democrat despite being registered as an independent. Horgan suggested this issue could be further discussed in a work session.
HB492: Representative Bay Information Only00:48:23.680 - 9:47:39 AM; Representative Bay inquired about the statute allowing a candidate to request a recount if they received 34 votes, referencing the hypothetical situation with Commissioner McIss. Horgan mentioned RSA 660 on post-election procedures but admitted he did not have the exact details at hand, suggesting the Deputy Secretary of State might provide more precise information.
HB492: Representative Horgan Information Only00:49:28.319 - 9:48:44 AM; Horgan elaborated on the recount process, stating that the fee for a recount depends on the margin of votes. If within a certain margin, no fee is required; otherwise, there's a sliding scale. He mentioned his own experience with a recount and noted the accuracy of the process, although write-in votes can be more ambiguous due to clerks' judgments on what constitutes a vote for a candidate.
HB492: Representative News Information Only00:52:26.720 - 9:51:42 AM; Representative News asked about the standard of uncertainty for requesting a recount, specifically if 30 votes were close enough to 35, and what constituted 'uncertainty.' Horgan did not provide a specific number but explained that requesting a recount with no write-in votes would be absurd, and a close margin like 34 votes could justify a recount to check for missed votes or misallocated write-ins. He suggested contacting the Secretary of State's office for more precise details.
HB574: Representative Claudine Burnham, Strafford District 2, Milton, Rochester Ward 5 Support01:00:55.640 - 10:00:11 AM; Representative Burnham introduced HB574, emphasizing the importance of background checks for employees of private companies and their contractors who program and maintain New Hampshire voting machines. She argued that these checks are essential for election integrity, as voting machines are critical to determining election outcomes. Burnham addressed concerns about costs, stating that the actual cost could be much lower than the estimated $250,000 to $500,000, and that HAVA funds could cover these expenses. She clarified that most employees would only need a single check at the start of employment, and some checks could last for years. Burnham also responded to questions about the bill's specifics, including the public availability of background check results and the frequency of checks, admitting some confusion about certain aspects of the bill's text.
HB497: Representative Robert Wei, Hudson, Hillsborough District 13 Support01:21:12.360 - 10:20:28 AM; Representative Wei introduced HB497, which proposes a pilot study for the Secretary of State's office to periodically evaluate the usability of forms and procedures related to voter checklist duties. He highlighted the lack of specific guidance in current RSAs on how these forms and procedures should be handled, except for a mention of non-technical language in the election manual. Wei drew from his experience in the medical device industry, referencing human factors engineering as a method to simplify complex tasks, suggesting its application could enhance election officials' efficiency. He pointed out issues like long lines during same-day registration in the last general election, suggesting that evaluating forms and procedures could improve election integrity and efficiency.
HB497: Representative Bay Information Only01:24:18.159 - 10:23:34 AM; Representative Bay inquired about the definition of 'periodically' in the context of the bill, questioning the frequency of usability evaluations. The response indicated that evaluations would typically be conducted initially and then periodically, especially following updates to procedures or changes in the law, with a suggestion of a multi-year cycle, possibly every three to five years.
HB497: Representative Gilmore Information Only01:25:37.360 - 10:24:53 AM; Representative Gilmore sought a clear definition of 'periodic' for the bill, expressing concerns about the ambiguity and its interpretation by the Secretary of State. A suggestion was made to amend the bill to specify evaluations at least every five years or sooner if necessitated by changes to the RSA.
HB497: Representative New Information Only01:26:50.719 - 10:26:06 AM; Representative New asked if the Secretary of State's office currently reviews forms and procedures, even if not mandated by law. The response was that there is some review, but no one with a background in human factors engineering or industrial psychology is involved in these reviews.
HB497: Representative Ward Information Only01:28:04.199 - 10:27:20 AM; Representative Ward did not have any further questions for the committee.
HB497: Representative Gaski Information Only01:29:08.440 - 10:28:24 AM; Representative Gaski noted the lack of a summary for the bill HB497 and mentioned the vote count from his computer, which showed four in support and nine opposed.
HB514 FN: Representative Barry, representing the towns of Weare and Goffstown Support01:40:22.320 - 10:39:38 AM; Representative Barry introduced HB514, which aims to allow private individuals to sue for violations of election law under RSA 659. He explained that the current interpretation of the law restricts such actions to the Attorney General, limiting citizens' ability to seek redress for election-related grievances. The bill includes provisions for going to the DOJ first, with an exception for cases close to an election, and includes protections against frivolous lawsuits through qualified immunity and restrictions on attorney fees.
HB514 FN: Representative C Information Only01:43:58.880 - 10:43:14 AM; Representative C asked if individuals must go to the DOJ first and only if denied can they go to court. Representative Barry clarified that individuals must go to the DOJ first, except within two weeks of an election, and if the DOJ does not act or if the individual disagrees with the DOJ's decision, they can then seek judicial relief.
HB514 FN: Representative Mirad Information Only01:45:49.000 - 10:45:05 AM; Representative Mirad sought clarification on the section of RSA 659 that deals with enforcement by the Attorney General. Representative Barry pointed out that it is in the last section of RSA 659, interpreted by courts to mean only the DOJ can pursue violations of this law.
HB514 FN: Representative Wood Information Only01:46:49.840 - 10:46:05 AM; Representative Wood asked if the current law was intended to restrict actions to the DOJ. Representative Barry expressed uncertainty about the original intent but emphasized his belief in the right to judicial redress, disagreeing with the courts' interpretation that limits this right.
HB514 FN: Representative Lane Information Only01:47:50.360 - 10:47:06 AM; Representative Lane questioned the provision in the bill that requires court approval for attorney fees, asking how one could hire an attorney before such approval. Representative Barry explained that the provision is intended to prevent a 'cash grab' and encourages pro se filings, limiting the potential for frivolous lawsuits driven by attorney fees.
HB514 FN: Representative Mirad Information Only01:50:16.639 - 10:49:32 AM; Representative Mirad sought clarification on the nature of lawsuits that would be filed under the proposed bill. They inquired whether these would be civil suits against the state or individuals working at the polls for violations of election procedures. They referenced a specific section of the bill on the second page, line 12, which details claims filed against the state and its agents. The concern was about setting up a system that might encourage lawsuits against election officials rather than addressing systemic issues.
HB514 FN: Representative Lane Information Only01:51:17.840 - 10:50:33 AM; Representative Lane expressed concerns about the potential increase in lawsuits due to the bill's provisions allowing pro se filings. They discussed the implications of such a system, particularly the possibility of extended court cases and the potential for individuals dissatisfied with election outcomes to file lawsuits without legal representation. They also raised questions about the types of legal actions that might be taken, such as temporary restraining orders or injunctions, to address immediate issues during elections.
HB514 FN: Representative Wry Information Only01:54:02.520 - 10:53:18 AM; Representative Wry discussed the importance of the right to petition the government for redress of grievances and how the proposed bill might enable standing in cases where elected officials are responsible for denying this right. They referenced a personal case where their ability to seek redress was blocked by an unelected official, leading to a court dismissal due to lack of standing. They emphasized the need for individuals to have access to the courts to address violations of their rights.
HB514 FN: Representative Mirad Information Only01:55:43.719 - 10:54:59 AM; Representative Mirad returned to discuss the attorney's fees section of the bill, questioning whether a private contract with an attorney for high fees would be nullified by the bill's provisions. They expressed concerns about the potential for attorneys to encourage lawsuits for financial gain rather than addressing legitimate grievances.
HB514 FN: Representative Lane Information Only01:56:47.520 - 10:56:03 AM; Representative Lane continued the discussion by asking for clarification on whether claims would be filed against the city or the state, referencing specific sections of the bill. They sought to ensure that the bill's language would cover actions against cities and towns as well as the state, and the speaker confirmed that was the intent, though they were open to amendments.
HB514 FN: Representative Timothy Horgan, Strafford County District 10 (Durham) Oppose01:58:50.000 - 10:58:06 AM; Representative Horgan from Durham opposed the bill, arguing that it goes too far in allowing lawsuits related to election issues. He noted that the bill is placed in a chapter of the law books typically handled by the Judiciary Committee, though he was glad it was not sent to them. He criticized the broad definition of 'person' in the bill, which could allow almost anyone to sue over election matters. Horgan mentioned existing avenues for addressing election law violations, such as the Department of Justice and the Ballot Law Commission, and suggested that the bill was unnecessary and overly expansive. He recommended that the committee consider the specifics of any cited incidents before moving forward with the bill and suggested it be deemed inexpedient to legislate (ITL).
HB365 FN: Committee Chair Information Only03:00:46.920 - 12:00:02 PM; The Committee Chair announced the opening of the executive session on HB365 FN and immediately recessed it until 1:15 PM due to the chairman's delay.

HB365 FN: Committee Chair Information Only03:16:35.080 - 12:15:51 PM; The Committee Chair opened the executive session for House Bill 365, made a motion to recommend 'ought to pass', and it was seconded. The discussion revolved around the legal challenges faced by similar bills in other states and the burden of proof on citizens. There was concern about the practicality and cost of proving citizenship, and a suggestion that the government already holds much of this information. The decision was made to vote 'inexpedient to legislate' due to the need for further work and alternative methods to achieve the bill's goals without burdening citizens.
CACR2: Representative L Oppose03:20:58.680 - 12:20:14 PM; Representative L expressed disappointment over not being able to fix issues in the draft of CACR2. They highlighted the importance of this reform for voter trust and participation, emphasizing that districting should be for constituents, not political parties.
CACR2: Unnamed Speaker Support03:21:59.120 - 12:21:15 PM; The unnamed speaker argued that redistricting is an inherently political and messy process. They believe that trying to remove politics from redistricting makes the process worse, and at the end of the day, someone in a political position will still control the decision.
HB130: Representative Wood Support03:23:25.600 - 12:22:41 PM; Representative Wood moved to recommend 'inexpedient to legislate' on HB130, citing doubts about the validity of the first place position on primary ballots and the potential added complication to ballot creation due to the complexity of districts. The motion was seconded by Representative Gasowski.
HB154: Representative C Support03:25:50.880 - 12:25:06 PM; Representative C moved to recommend 'ought to pass' on HB154, stating that it's a straightforward measure to show voters their right to have ballots hand counted. The motion was seconded by Representative Wey.
HB154: Unnamed Speaker Support03:26:49.760 - 12:26:05 PM; The unnamed speaker hoped that by enabling voters to request hand counting, fewer people would feel the need to do so, potentially reducing issues like the write-in bubble or over-voting, and encouraging trust in machine counting.
HB154: Representative Lane Oppose03:27:55.800 - 12:27:11 PM; Representative Lane expressed concern that allowing hand counting might lead to more requests, delaying vote counting and potentially resulting in less accuracy compared to machine counting.
HB154: Unnamed Speaker Support03:28:53.520 - 12:28:09 PM; The unnamed speaker echoed concerns about the accuracy of hand counting, especially when done by tired workers, and cautioned voters about the potential consequences of requesting hand counts. They shared experiences from recounts, noting the small changes in machine towns versus the larger discrepancies in hand count towns.
HB154: Representative Wood Support03:29:16.239 - 12:28:32 PM; Representative Wood saw HB154 as an opportunity for bipartisan work, noting that many people believe they already have the right to hand count their ballots. They hoped to convince voters of the reliability of machines while allowing them the option for hand counting if needed.
HB154: Representative Gilmore Support03:30:22.239 - 12:29:38 PM; Representative Gilmore mentioned that many elections already allow for hand counting without issue, and they learned something new about election laws during this session, emphasizing the importance of voter education.

HB367: Representative Wei Support03:39:40.080 - 12:38:56 PM; Representative Wei moved a motion of ought to pass for House Bill 367, which was seconded by Representative Harbuia. He explained that the bill aims to level the playing field by making the method of adopting partisan Town elections the same as resending them. This ensures that the process for adopting and rescinding partisan elections is equivalent, allowing towns to use the same mechanism for both actions.
HB367: Representative Lane Information Only03:40:21.080 - 12:39:37 PM; Representative Lane inquired about past practices for adopting partisan elections, noting that few towns had done so historically. He highlighted the purpose of the legislation, which is to standardize the adoption process to match the rescinding process. He also discussed the historical use of partisan elections in Manchester, expressing skepticism about the nonpartisan nature of local elections due to the involvement of political parties. He argued that disclosing a candidate's party affiliation could increase voter turnout and engagement, suggesting that denying voters this information decreases turnout and voter knowledge.
HB367: Representative Weary Information Only03:43:42.520 - 12:42:58 PM; Representative Weary provided information on the relevant RSA (669:37) that outlines special provisions for partisan ballot systems, directing interested parties to review these sections for specific details.

HB367: Representative Newsome Information Only03:47:25.479 - 12:46:41 PM; Representative Newsome asked whether the bill affects whether partisan elections are conducted during business meetings or on the ballot. It was explained that the bill does not change the current practice, where towns vote to adopt or rescind the partisan official ballot system under an article in the warrant at town meetings.
HB367: Chair Information Only03:49:34.520 - 12:48:50 PM; The chair decided to recess the bill due to some confusion and questions about the language and its implications. The session was to resume with the pending motion of ought to pass.

HB600: Representative Harvey Bula Oppose03:56:04.720 - 12:55:20 PM; Representative Harvey Bula moved a motion of inexpedient to legislate for House Bill 600, which was seconded by Representative Qua. He argued against rank choice voting, citing its potential to slow down ballot counting, diminish voter confidence due to its complexity, and lead to gamesmanship in voting.
HB600: Representative Wilhelm Support03:57:22.880 - 12:56:38 PM; Representative Wilhelm opposed the motion of inexpedient to legislate, advocating for rank choice voting as a tested and improved method that allows municipalities to choose what's best for their communities.

HB600: Representative Gilmore Support03:58:28.920 - 12:57:44 PM; Representative Gilmore supported rank choice voting, noting its popularity in states and countries where it is implemented.
