Hiring a full time staff member in the Secretary of State’s office and allocating $25,000 a year for birth certificate vouchers will cost taxpayers money that could otherwise be spent improving our election systems and supporting election officials, instead of setting up a program that has no guarantee of assisting any voters with registration. The best way to ensure that no voter is turned away due to lack of documents is to bring back the affidavit process and let voters attest to their citizenship by signing a sworn statement. Voter fraud is not an issue in New Hampshire.
