Let America Vote Statement on NHDP Lawsuit Against SB3

The New Hampshire Democratic Party today took bold action to protect voting rights by filing a lawsuit to stop Senate Bill 3, one of the nation’s most devious and dangerous voter suppression bills. The suit aims to expose SB3 as a blatantly political effort to create obstacles to voting for college students and other specific groups of Granite Staters.

In support of the effort to stop SB3, Let America Vote President Jason Kander released the following statement:

“The right to vote shouldn’t be a partisan issue, but Republicans in Concord are trying to change the way we hold elections so that it’s easier for them to win re-election. Now the New Hampshire Democratic Party is standing up for the thousands of Granite Staters who risk disenfranchisement under SB3, and they should be applauded for that.

“Instead of making an honest effort to earn the votes of New Hampshire college students, Republicans have decided to simply exclude them from the election process. Governor Sununu lost all credibility when he echoed President Trump’s lie that voters were being bussed in from other states to vote for Democrats in 2016. Governor Sununu has made it clear that he doesn’t value the free and fair elections that make up the cornerstone of our democracy, and he should pay for it during his next election.

“New Hampshire voters will make their argument in court for why this unconstitutional voter suppression law has no place in their state, but we also have to take this fight into the court of public opinion. Let America Vote exists to make politicians think twice before excluding eligible voters from elections to create a political advantage. Republican vote suppressors in New Hampshire will feel the legal and political heat of their missteps through the next election cycle.”
