Co-sponsor HR 12

Passed · New Hampshire House · Co-sponsor

urging Congress to amend the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2013.

Maddy summaryThis is a New Hampshire state House resolution (HR 12), not a federal bill, calling on Congress to reverse a 2013 law change. It urges reinstating a prior prohibition that prevented U.S. government agencies from creating domestic propaganda targeting American citizens. The resolution claims the 2013 Smith-Mundt Modernization Act - which lifted that ban - has allowed government to promote preferred narratives, position itself as the arbiter of truth, and use psychological tactics against the public. The resolution was approved by the New Hampshire House committee and passed the full chamber in March 2025, but it has no legal effect on federal law.

relative to digital images of ballots.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows registered voters to examine digital images of ballots created by electronic counting devices to verify the accuracy and integrity of election equipment. Under the new rules, the Secretary of State would manage a supervised viewing process where observers can inspect stored images on state computers without downloading or copying the data. Access to these images would be permitted only after all recounts and appeals are finished, and any discrepancies found by observers could trigger an investigation by the Attorney General. The legislation also gives the Secretary of State authority to disqualify specific voting machines or vendors if issues are discovered during these reviews.

Co-sponsor HB 1099

died · New Hampshire House · Co-sponsor

relative to partisan school district elections.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes to align the rules for filing for office and conducting school district elections with the existing systems used in town elections. It allows school districts to choose between a non-partisan ballot system, which currently applies to most districts, or a new partisan ballot system where candidates run with party labels and a plurality vote wins. Under the new partisan option, school districts would vote to adopt the system at a meeting, and the rules for preparing ballots and managing candidates would mirror those used for partisan town elections. The legislation clarifies that references to town clerks in current laws should instead refer to school district clerks when applying these election procedures.
