Tell your representatives: NH Needs Fair Maps, Not More Gerrymandering
On Wednesday, Politico released the article White House puts New Hampshire on notice, referencing President Trump’s nationwide push for states to conduct mid-decade redistricting to directly benefit the conservative party. According to the piece, "a person familiar with the White House’s thinking told West Wing Playbook that Trump’s team doesn’t plan to back off New Hampshire," and that "the White House is prepared to use a take-no-prisoners approach." Adding to the urgency, State Senator Dan Innis has officially filed a bill to commence mid-cycle districting in NH, despite Governor Ayotte noting in August that the "timing is off" for a redraw. This development emphasizes the need for action.
Use this customizable email template to write to your State Representatives and Senators and urge them to oppose such obvious power grabs.

Write a Letter to the Editor (LTE) to Push Back on Harmful Student ID Bills
At Tuesday's House Election Law Committee Executive Session, several harmful voting bills moved forward. Two of the most egregious (CACR 4 and HB 323), target student voters.
CACR 4 would restrict voting to only ‘legal residents,’ eliminating the ability to claim domicile in New Hampshire without full legal residency. This extreme constitutional amendment would disenfranchise out-of-state students, elderly voters in care facilities, people experiencing homelessness, and families displaced by disasters who must temporarily live elsewhere.
HB 323 removes student IDs and out of state IDs from acceptable identity documents. It also removes language that allows ID's to be accepted if they had not been expired for over 5 years, which will work to disenfranchise elderly voters who no longer drive.
It is essential that we make noise about these outrageous proposals. Find LTE submission guidelines HERE.
Many legislators will read their local papers, so LTEs are a great way to reach them. Best practices for LTEs include keeping them on one topic and relatively short while making a complete and compelling argument.
