Voted NO on "no excuse" absentee voting bill

Gov. Sununu vetoed the so-called "no excuse" absentee voting bill, warning it would erode the state's vaunted political tradition of in-person participation at the polls. Advocates of the bill had wanted New Hampshire to join 28 other states, which allow voters to obtain an absentee ballot without having to give a reason for why they can't make it to the polls.

Legislative Outcome: Senate voted 171-11-0 on May 30; Sen. Morse voted NO; House voted 222-157-18 on Sept 18 veto override

NO on gender identity protections in employment & housing

Transgender Americans were watching the Granite State's House of Representatives: A win for transgender rights bill HB 1319 wouldn't just be significant for the estimated 4,500 transgender people in New Hampshire, but for anyone who wants to see such protections spread even further beyond progressive bastions like the West Coast and New England.

And that win came in the form of a decisive 195-129 vote in favor of HB 1319--all in a Republican-controlled legislative body, no less. [Sen. Morse voted NO]

HB 1319--which adds gender identity to New Hampshire's existing non-discrimination legislation in the areas of employment, housing and public accommodations--will have to clear the Senate next, and then be signed by Republican Governor Chris Sununu, who has already suggested he will support the bill. [Governor Sununu signed the bill on June 8].
