CONCORD, N.H. —
New Hampshire Republicans advanced legislation Friday that would eliminate all exceptions to the state’s voter ID law.
House Bill 1569 would require anyone who shows up to register to vote on Election Day to provide proof of citizenship through documents such as a birth certificate or a passport.
“Confidence in our elections means that you have found that the person that confronted you, asking you for that ballot is qualified to vote. They are a citizen,” said state Sen. James Gray, R-Rochester.
