On Civil Rights: NO on gender identity protections in employment & housing

And that win came in the form of a decisive 195-129 vote in favor of HB 1319--all in a Republican-controlled legislative body, no less. [Sen. Morse voted NO]

HB 1319--which adds gender identity to New Hampshire's existing non-discrimination legislation in the areas of employment, housing and public accommodations--will have to clear the Senate next, and then be signed by Republican Governor Chris Sununu, who has already suggested he will support the bill. [Governor Sununu signed the bill on June 8].

On Government Reform: Favored Photo ID for Voting

This bill requires a voter to present photographic identification or a voter affidavit to obtain a ballot. The bill establishes an exception to the identification requirement for persons personally known to certain election officials.
• The ballot clerk shall require the person desiring to vote to furnish a state or federal government-issued photo identification to verify the person's identity, or
• the voter shall be permitted to submit an affidavit stating that:
• "I have not been issued an identification card by a state or federal government or I have lost possession of such an identification within the past 14 days."
• If a person desiring to vote states that he or she does not have a sufficient identification, but such person is personally known to any of the city or town clerks as a person qualified to vote at such location, such person shall not be refused a ballot for lack of identification.
