New Hampshire House to Vote on Anti-Straight-Ticket Bill on Tuesday, March 27

The New Hampshire House is scheduled to vote on SB 36 on Tuesday, March 27. The bill abolishes the straight-ticket device and gives the state an office-group ballot. If the bill passes (and it is expected to), this will likely make it easier for HB 48 to pass. HB 48 lowers the vote test for a party to remain on the ballot from 4% to 2%. Secretary of State Bill Gardner, who is very influential, has already testified that if SB 36 passes, he would have no objection to HB 48.
