New Hampshire Senator Peter Burling has introduced a bill for the 2008 session, to expand the list of who may obtain the statewide list of registered voters. This is in response to last month’s court decision, striking down the old law. The old law said only qualified parties could obtain the list. New Hampshire has only two qualified parties. The Libertarian Party had filed the lawsuit.

Unfortunately, the text of 2008 bills is not yet available. A telephone call has been placed to Senator Burling, and perhaps it will be possible to learn how the new bill is worded, and which groups and individuals are included in the new bill.
