Apparently, New Hampshire allows to register to vote and to vote on the same day.

<< More than 6,500 people registered to vote on Election Day 2016 using out-of-state driver’s licenses and, as of last week, more than 5,300 of them still had not received New Hampshire licenses, state voting and safety officials said in a new report....5,313 of those who registered to vote on Nov. 8 using an out-of-state driver’s license as an ID had neither obtained a New Hampshire license nor registered a motor vehicle in the state as of a week ago. State law requires people who come to live in the state and have a motor vehicle to register that vehicle in the state and obtain a New Hampshire driver’s license within 60 days....

Jasper, R-Hudson, and state Sen. Regina Birdsell, R-Hampstead, who chairs the Senate Election Law Committee, said the most troubling piece of information turned up by the report is that the state’s recently approved participation in an Interstate State Voter Registration Crosscheck Program showed a potential for nearly 200 cases of double-voting.

“We are further analyzing 196 names that appear to have been marked on a New Hampshire checklist and one other state as having voted in the November 2016 general election,” Gardner and Barthelmes wrote. ...

"illegal voting by nonresidents" could have pushed Hillary Clinton to win New Hampshire's four electoral votes over Trump. Clinton won the Granite Statec contest by 2,700 votes. >>

While New Hampshire works to tighten their voter ID laws, the Democrats are doing what they can to stop them. And:

<< Marc Elias, a partner at the Washington, D.C.-based law firm Perkins Coie and Clinton's former top campaign lawyer, is listed as an attorney on the New Hampshire lawsuit....
Elias was behind a number of lawsuits that were filed against voter identification laws in recent years. >>

Now - I understand why do Democrats want to have as little of voter ID requirements and as little voter fraud protection as possible. What is interesting though is that their argument advanced for the public view essentially goes in the direction that voting should be as effortless as possible. And, while I do not think that there should be unreasonable hurdles for law abiding citizens on their way to the ballot box, I simply do not understand those who buy this argument that no efforts should be necessary at all. You want to vote? Get off your couch, take care to register in time to meet the deadline, get a drivers license or a state ID and vote.

I see that idea of effortless voting as a part of the left's agenda to destroy the very basic foundation principles of the society. To deny the need to make any effort at all and to deny the importance of any merit at all (of course, this only applies to certain groups of people, while the rest of us should be forever ashamed of our "majority privilege". But the idea slowly permeates the whole society as well, it is too seductive).

I am also amazed as to how insignificant the voting is considered to be by those who believe it's no big deal that you are not required to present your ID in so many states. Voting IS important, and voter fraud is NOT a victimless crime. Let me quote the good old Lieutenant:

"When you vote, you are exercising political authority, you're using force. And force my friends is violence. The supreme authority from which all other authorities are derived."
