Reply to comment by 4ever48 in Constitutional Convention ballot question by niateratez

But cost does go up with multiple layers of bureaucracy. Imho, there are areas in which the state has too much power, but overall NH government is reasonably efficient (at least compared to other states).

That said, our decision making process is pretty slow in NH, and imho a cumbersome process is feature, and not a bug.

Well, yes and no.

NH government is reasonably INeffecient. And if you like that, this is the state for you. I became disillusioned and dissatisfied through my own personal experience as a poll worker (which I wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy). Example: Do you know why we have same day registration in NH??? I found out that this is a loophole in the Federal Motor Voter Act. You can't register to vote here in NH when you go to renew you driver's license. But you CAN do same day registration on November 8. Do you understand how rampant fraudulent voting is at the polls because of this??

We do not have vote-by-mail in NH. Instead, we have the cumbersome and costly alternative of Absentee ballots. This is ONLY a feature, if your intent is to supress Constitutional right to vote. Why would anyone WANT that??

Guess, we'll have to agree to disagree.
