Heather Fritchy for Myself DERRY While I think it's pathetic that we can't trust each other, this would solve problems of mistrust so I support it. | DERRY | Support | 115 | Jan 28, 2025 | |
Carol Petrusewicz for Myself Rochester This makes perfect sense! Thank you for finding the oversight and making this correction. | Rochester | Support | 90 | Jan 28, 2025 | |
Aimee Lee for Myself Plymouth A voter has the legal right to request a recount of votes, therefore it is not necessary to have this bill. I oppose this bill. | Plymouth | Oppose | 127 | Jan 28, 2025 | |
Paul Punturieri for Myself Moultonborough As a long time moderator, I oppose this bill because it is unnecessary and vague. We already allow observers. Are the witnesses allowed to interfere or disrupt the proceedings? In addition, local elections are non-partisan. This ill will accomplish nothing but further perpetuate the false narrative that cheating is occurring and is now targeting moderators. Vote ITL | Moultonborough | Oppose | 369 | Jan 28, 2025 | |
