New Hampshire Voting Rights Case Sent by Federal Court to New Hampshire Supreme Court

On November 27, a U.S. District Court in New Hampshire sent questions to the New Hampshire Supreme Court, in Casey v New Hampshire Secretary of State, 1:19cv-149. The case concerns a 2018 law that is not clear. It relates to who can register to vote in New Hampshire. It can be interpreted to mean that college students attending college in New Hampshire cannot register and vote in New Hampshire, if they have drivers licenses and car registrations in other states. Here is the rather long and complicated referral to the New Hampshire Supreme Court.

  1. Meanwhile the SOS & AG are saying this new law doesn’t affect who is allowed to register to vote.

  2. Federal IDs would resolve this. If a person changes their domicile, they change the address on their ID.

    State election officials would be notified since it would be required to use federal ID’s for federal elections. It would be equivalent to AVR.

    New Hampshire should be able to tax vehicles used primarily in the state.

  3. ***NOT clear*** laws = void for vagueness — by definition.

    NOT all States have the Fed certified questions process to State supremes ???

    How about ONLY NONPARTISAN State courts and SCOTUS — ALL elected ???

  4. 14-1 first sentence — All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

    1866-1868 RESIDE.

  6. oddly enough only 1 state gives gay americans equal voting rights in the constitution.

  7. Also – each State remains a NATION-STATE —

    BASIC Citizen/Allegiance stuff.

    Last para of 4 July 1776 DOI.

    Various test oaths / PURGES in 1775-onward regarding adult inhabitants and what allegiance they had — to NEW State regimes or OLDE Brit King G III.

    OLDE common law – only allegiance regime folks could own land in regime — various SCOTUS cases – 1783 USA-UK Peace Treaty.

  8. Besides DOI —

    1777 Art Confed
    1783 USA-Brit Peace Treaty
    1787 USA Const Art VII plus various nation-state stuff in 1-10 and Art 4.

    States – all plural in such 4 BASIC documents.

    Ongoing subversion of all States via SCOTUS HACKS — with their SUBVERSION ops

    — esp about 1-8 general welfare cl and interstate commerce cl.

    Result – States almost DEAD — see US Code Title 42

    Thus — the worse and worse TYRANT MONARCH USA Prezs – esp since 1993 –

    arrogant flippant P-U-N-K Prezs – Clinton, Bush II, Obama, Trump.

    PR and AppV and TOTSOP
