Ballot Access News has just learned that the New Hampshire legislature made ballot access more restrictive this year. The legislature passed a bill that makes it illegal to circulate candidate petitions during an odd year. Thanks to Howard Wilson for this news.
Does the recent RI decision lifting their similar ban have any bearing on this?
Surprise, surprise, surprise

The Rhode Island decision concerned a petition to create a new ballot-qualified party. So it isn’t really the same issue.
This seems like one area that New Hampshire, for being the home of the Free State Project, has consistently failed.
