There was no proof of voter fraud in New Hampshire http://www.wmur.com/article/exhaustive-investigation-reveals-little-evidence-of-possible-voter-fraud-in-nh/20955267
An exhaustive review by state election officials, including a first-time comparison of voter information shared with 27 other states, has turned up virtually no evidence of possible voter fraud in New Hampshire, those officials said Tuesday.
Secretary of State William Gardner, other officials from his office and a top election law attorney from the attorney generals office made a more than two-hour presentation to the state Ballot Law Commission, which is charged with resolving disputes related to election laws. The review consumed 817 work hours by members of the attorney general's office with help from the Department of Safety.
The key results were:

The key results were:
-- Out of more than 94,000 names of people with the same first and last names and dates of birth who voted in New Hampshire and at least one of the other 27 states in the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck program, all but 142 were accounted for as being different voters in each state
-- In New Hampshire, out of 86,952 people who registered to vote on state primary or general election day in 2016, a total 6,033 did not present photo IDs and as a result signed affidavits swearing that a New Hampshire community was their domicile.
-- The secretary of states office verified that all but 458 cases were legitimate New Hampshire voters, and referred those 458 cases to the attorney general's office. The attorney general's office was able to verify that 392 of those voters were in fact domiciled in New Hampshire and registered and voted properly.

They met like, twice in 9 months and then disbanded without actually ever doing anything.

(145,168 posts)4. New Hampshire officials shred Trump's voter-fraud conspiracy theory
There is no widespread voter fraud http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/new-hampshire-officials-shred-trumps-voter-fraud-conspiracy-theory
Just weeks into his presidency, Donald Trump met with a group of senators to discuss Neil Gorsuchs Supreme Court nomination. As regular readers may recall, the president, for reasons that werent altogether clear, insisted at the meeting that he wouldve won New Hampshire had it not been for widespread voter fraud.
According to a Politico report, after Trump insisted illegal votes were cast by people brought in on buses, there was an uncomfortable silence in the room.
A year later, in February 2018, the president spoke at a Republican National Committee dinner, and again claimed that the only reason he narrowly lost New Hampshire in 2016 was voter fraud.
Given his intense and ongoing interest in the subject, someone probably ought to alert him to this report from WMUR.
