NH News Recap: Why is the DOJ suing NH to get voter information?

Voting stickers

Manchester's Don Provencher was supervising the ballot box in 2018. He also gave out voting stickers.

The U.S. Department of Justice is suing New Hampshire and five other states for access to confidential voting records. Months ago the DOJ asked New Hampshire for the data and Secretary of State David Scanlan denied the request.

And the Trump administration abruptly ended funding for two programs that are helping over 5,000 New Hampshire students pursue college and careers.

We discuss these stories and more on this week’s edition of the New Hampshire News Recap.
