Voted YES on "no excuse" absentee voting bill

Gov. Sununu vetoed the so-called "no excuse" absentee voting bill, warning it would erode the state's vaunted political tradition of in-person participation at the polls. Advocates of the bill had wanted New Hampshire to join 28 other states, which allow voters to obtain an absentee ballot without having to give a reason for why they can't make it to the polls.

Legislative Outcome: Senate voted 171-11-0 on May 30; Sherman voted YEA; House voted 222-157-18 on Sept 18 veto override
