On November 26, 2007, a New Hampshire state court had ruled unconstitutional a law that said the statewide list of registered voters should be given to qualified political parties, but no one else. Only the Democratic and Republican Parties are qualified in New Hampshire.

On February 12, the court held another hearing to decide what to do about the fact that the Democratic and Republican Parties had already received the list. Here is a Concord Monitor story about that hearing. The Libertarian Party, which brought the lawsuit, turned down the idea that the solution is just to give the statewide list to the party. This was a principled decision, since the list is very valuable, as the article reveals. Thanks to Marc Montoni for the link.
