Bob Perry Reports--NH H.B 186

by Monica Smith [courtesy of Blog for America]

Explanation: New Hampshire House Bill 186, a bill that would have provided for a random recount audit as a check and balance against electronic voting machines, was defeated in the committee of election law by a vote of 9/8. This speech, one of several, was delivered from the floor of the house on Wednesday, January 16, in an effort to overturn the majority committee report of inexpedient to legislate (ITL-kill). It is difficult to overturn a majority committee report, and this attempt failed with a vote of 253/72.
