Governor John Lynch
-
New Hampshire’s current Governor, John Lynch, is stepping down after eight years in office. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Lynch announced his endorsement of fellow Democrat Maggie Hassan to become his replacement.
“Maggie Hassan is the leader to help the state moving forward,” Lynch said on Tuesday.
-
“
No explanation beyond a desire for non-New Hampshire voters to participate in New Hampshire elections can adequately explain why the governor chose to veto this reasonable bill that merely makes clear that in order to vote in New Hampshire, one must be a resident of New Hampshire.”
- New Hampshire House Speaker William O’Brien, criticizing Gov. John Lynch’s veto of a Senate bill that would have changed the state’s voter registration process. -
“Any changes to our voting procedures must ensure a person’s constitutional right to vote is protected. This bill does not meet that test.”
