Why New Hampshires
Primary Tradition Is ImportantBy William Gardner, New Hampshire Secretary of State
October 12, 2011
Every four years Americans elect the most powerful leader in the world. We go tothe polls and select the man or woman who will be President of the United States.
It is probably the most important political decision each of us makes because our
choice can affect the lives and happiness of ourselves and our children for years
into our future.
DEMOCRACY IS HARD WORK. Protecting American democracy has been a
cause of freedom in our nation for over two centuries, and our fellow citizens who
have gone before us dedicated their lives, and in some cases lost their lives, in that
fight. The principles of democracy and freedom are worth every bit of that fight.
One vital way that we preserve our democracy is to have an election system that
allows for the long-said American dream that just about anyone can grow up to be
President of the United States. Our boys and girls just starting to go to school
should feel that regardless of their wealth or other limitations, they too could
become president, or whatever else they aspire to.
For nearly 100 years, the New Hampshire First-In-The-Nation Presidential Primary
has had meaning and relevance to American politics. It has allowed for candidates
regardless of national standing or financial capability to begin their launch intopresidential politics by winning or doing well here. Several aspiring Americans
likely would not have become president ifthey werent first able to make their casedoor-to-door, face-to-face, eye-to-eye with New Hampshire voters who meet them
at our homes, in our backyards, and on our sidewalks away from the microphones
and cameras that create a barrier between human beings.
NEW HAMSHIRE IS FIRST FOR A REASON. While New Hampshire has
had a presidential primary since 1916, and has been first since 1920, it wasnt until1975 that our status was put into state law. The law now requires that our primary
is 7 days or more before similar elections that would challenge our traditional
position.
What that law requires is that I look at the nominating events of other states where
presidential candidates run, and then set our primary a week ahead of them. Since
New Hampshire citizens pay for our primary, we can hold it whenever we wish.
8/3/2019 UPDATE for OSC in re Plaintiff's Affidavit in Support of OSC w exhibits an MOL in NYS SC Kings Index 6500-2011
47/177
It is up to the candidates themselves to decide whether to campaign here. Ours is
the first event where voters go into the privacy of the voting booth to make a
choice for a candidate on the ballot. It tells the nation something about their
support.
CONSIDER THE ALTERNATIVES. It used to be that delegates for national
political conventions were chosen in secret mainly by party leaders, out of view of
the public. Would we tolerate that kind of process now? And without having
caucuses and primaries in smaller states, larger states would have the exclusive
major role in the nominating process.
Worse yet, if a national primary was held, or if the role of small states was
eliminated, only the very rich or famous candidates would be able to put on the
major campaigns needed for victory or to exceed expectations. In a state like NewHampshire, candidates can run without a large staff or heavy advertising and
consulting budgets if they have a message, meet directly with voters, and explain
why they should be president. Examples abound.
OPTIONS FOR NEW HAMPSHIRES PRIMARY DATE. With Florida
moving its primary earlier than originally planned to January 31st, and South
Carolina making a move to set its primary ten days earlier to January 21st, that
began to limit options for setting our date in January. When officials in Nevada set
their caucus for Saturday, January 14th, that left Tuesday, January 3
rdas a
possibility for us, but Iowa officials tentatively decided that their caucus would be
on that day.
My job as NH Secretary of State is to follow our law, which mandates that I set our
election 7 days or more before any event that would threaten our traditional lead-
off status. So if Nevada does not adjust its caucus date to a later time, I cannot rule
out the possibility of a December primary.
We cannot allow the political process to squeeze us into a date that wedges us by
just a few days between two major caucus states. Our primary will have littlemeaning if states crowd into holding their events just hours after our polls have
closed.
The date of our primary is decided by state law, not by the rules or desires of
political parties. Since Nevadas caucus is similarin the eyes of our statute, itmeans the New Hampshire primary can be set no later than Saturday, January 7
th.
8/3/2019 UPDATE for OSC in re Plaintiff's Affidavit in Support of OSC w exhibits an MOL in NYS SC Kings Index 6500-2011
48/177
ITS REALLY UP TO NEVADA. If Nevada does not accept a date of Tuesday,
January 17th
or later for its caucus, it leaves New Hampshire no choice but to
consider December of this year. The dates of Tuesday, December 13th
,,and
Tuesday, December 6th are realistic options, and we have logistics in place to
make either date happen if needed. Candidates have been campaigning here, and
elsewhere, for months, and it is about time we begin the next stage of the
presidential nominating process.
The political parties did not give New Hampshire its presidential primary.
Traditionally, it has been the first in the nation for almost a hundred years, and our
state law protects our tradition. We have the largest turnout in the country, and our
citizens take their roles and obligations seriously.
But the parties do have an important role in that they can discourage other states
from trying to leapfrog onto our tradition. Right now, the problem is the date of Nevada. We will respond as we need to in order to honor New Hampshirestradition, and to keep our primary relevant. Not to do so would allow us to lose an
important element of American democracy forever. New Hampshire will not let
that happen.

NEW YORK STATE BOE WEBSITE COVER-UP
New York State Board of Elections WebsiteBlocking Access To Natural Born Citizen Requirements
ByPixel Patriot10/5/2011
Previous versions of the New York State Board of Elections website that listed the qualifications forthe Presidential candidates to be a Natural Born Citizen have not only been scrubbed, but their websitehas html source code embedded to prevent archiving and specifically coded so as to be excluded inarchival sites such as the Way Back Machine.
(Robot Text embedded in NY BOE website to thwart access to Natural Born Citizen reference)
http://www.elections.state.ny.us/RunningOffice.html
The Board of Elections website cites Article II Section 1 as the Constitutional authority for Presidentialrequirements; however the reference to Natural Born Citizen has been replaced with just Born acitizen and they do not list Clause 5 which was specifically included by the Framers as a strong checkagainst dual allegiance and foreign influence for the Office of the President of the United States andCommander-in-Chief :

UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
ARTICLE II SECTION I CLAUSE V
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the
Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any
Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years,
and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
The New York State Board of Elections regularly updates their website. And you canuse an internet archive program called the Way Back Machine to see some of theprevious versions of the Board of Elections website as it existed during various timesin the past. However, not all of the previous webpages are available; and it is not dueto broken links. The Board of Elections is employing technology within the computerprogramming language that makes up the website to actively block someone fromgaining access to the webpage that previously listed the Natural Born Citizenrequirement for the Presidency.
How can I have my site's pages excluded from the Wayback Machine?
Heres how:

The Internet Archive
"This webpage is no longer available", is the sentence familiar to you?
This is no longer a problem since a complete archive for webpages isnow available. Through The Internet Archive, you can retrieve expiredwebpages, trace the development of websites, and go back to eventsthat have shaken the world.

Additionally, previous versions of the Board of Elections website have also beenBLOCKED and cant be accessed from The Internet Archive at the New Library ofAlexandria, Egypt, which mirrors The Wayback Machine:
http://www.bibalex.org/isis/frontend/archive/archive_web.aspx
A closer examination of the exclusion policy reveals the typical response by TheInternet Archive when having been made by a GOVERNMENT request:
Archivists will exercise best-efforts compliance with applicable court orders.
Beyond that, as noted in the Library Bill of Rights:
'Libraries should challenge censorship in the fulfillment oftheir responsibility to provide information and enlightenment.'

Therefore, according to The Internet Archive exclusion policy; if the New York StateBoard of Elections made a request to have webpages excluded that would blockaccess to historical references to the term Natural Born Citizen as a requirement forPresidential candidates, the request should have been denied.
By removing the reference to Natural Born Citizen as a requirement for a Presidentialcandidate from the Board of Elections website, that in and of itself is indicative of a
concerted attempt to mislead the voters. However, a directive had to have beenissued to the person programming the website to implement a technologicalblockade specifically designed to thwart current and future attempts to gain accessto any previous versions of the website that include the Natural Born Citizenreference; pointing to a cover-up and a broader conspiracy by the New York StateBoard of Elections.
This deceptive practice by the New York State Board of Elections is antithetical toBill A04356, an ACT to amend election law in the State of New York. Introduced onFebruary 2, 2011 by M. of Latimer in the 2011-2012 Regular Sessions in Assembly:
Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 3-106 of the election law, as amended by chapter 8of the laws of 1978 and as redesignated by chapter 9 of the laws of 1978, is amendedto read as follows:
1. (A) In addition to the powers and duties elsewhere enumeratedin this article, the state board of elections, after public hearings, shalladopt a "fair campaign code" WHICH SHALL SET forth ethicalstandards of conduct for persons, political parties and committeesengaged in election campaigns including, but not limited to, specificprohibitions against practices of political espionage and other
political practices WHICH INVOLVE subversion of the politicalparties and process, SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THEMISREPRESENTATION OF THE CRIMINAL RECORD ORBACKGROUND, MORAL TURPITUDE, CHARACTER, VOTINGRECORD OR OTHER SPECIFIC ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ACANDIDATE, TO A POTENTIAL VOTER

N.Y. ELN. LAW 6-122 Designation or nomination; eligibility, restrictions
p.171A person shall not be designated or nominated for a public office or
party position who if elected will not at the time of commencementof the term of such office or position, meet the constitutional orstatutory qualifications thereof
It is obvious that the New York State Board of Elections is intentionally misleadingthe voters of New York for the purpose of subverting the Constitutional requirementfor the Office of the President while also trying to cover their tracks at the same time.
The U.S. Constitution can only be changed through the amendment process.
The Board of Elections is currently a defendant in a case before the New York StateSupreme Court brought by plaintiff Christopher-Earl Strunk, pro se.

Dear Mr. Van Allen:
The New York State Board of Elections has received your request for access to public
records, specifically: all electronic records (email) for the period 2007-2008 between NYS-BOE
staff and NYS Office of the Governor staff as well as with NYS Office of Attorney General staff,
including: all electronic communication (email) for this 2007-2008 period related to executive
sessions of the NYS-BOE.
With respect to electronic communications with the New York State Attorney GeneralsOffice, we have conducted a search of our records and determined that the relevant electronic
communications are exempt from disclosure pursuant to New York State Public Officers Law
87(2)(a) constituting either attorney work product or subject to attorney-client privilege.
With respect to electronic communications related to executive sessions of the Board, we
have conducted a search of our records and determined that the relevant electronic
communications are exempt from disclosure pursuant to New York State Public Officers Law
87(2)(g) constituting intra-agency materials which are not statistical or factual tabulations or
data; instructions to staff that affect the public; final agency policy or determinations; or
external audits, including but not limited to audits performed by the comptroller and the federal
government.
With respect to electronic communications between NYS-BOE and Office of the Governor
staff, we are unable to determine with specificity the records sought. The Governors staff
constitutes dozens of agencies which we cannot identify with reasonable effort.
