New Hampshire Secretary of State Disqualifies U.S. Senate Candidate Because of a Delay in Voter Registration Processing, but Candidate Files a Federal Lawsuit to Reverse that Decision

On June 11, New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan rejected the Declaration of Candidacy of Aaron Day, an independent candidate for U.S. Senate. The reason was that Day had moved within New Hampshire, and his new voter registration, reflecting his new home, had not been processed on the day Day filed his Statement of Candidacy. Day has now filed a federal lawsuit, arguing that the state cannot even force congressional candidates to be registered voters at all, because that adds to the Constitutional qualifications. Day v New Hampshire Secretary of State, 1:26cv-499.

Here is the Complaint. The case is assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Landya B. McCafferty, an Obama appointee.

  1. This is censorship by constitutionally irrelevant technicality. Censorship is the purpose of all ballot access laws to entrench incumbents of the two residual parties. They are residual because their dominance is the residue of ballot censorship, gerrymandering and limiting representation of voters in legislatures state and Congress.

  2. It’s too bad Trump is not a tyrant. If He was, at least the crAZy AZeri nAZi-666 spambot would be deprogrammed.
