A new report shows that more than 6,500 people using out-of-state driver’s licenses registered on Election Day 2016 to vote in New Hampshire, but since then hardly any of them got a state license or registered a motor vehicle.
New Hampshire allows same-day voter registration, as do 14 other states. The theory behind the lenient policy is that voters who forgot to register will still be able to cast a ballot. But the policy is ripe for abuse: Poll workers take ID – even out-of-state driver’s licenses – and, as long as the person asserts that he or she is a U.S. citizen who lives in the state, they get to vote.
