New Hampshire voters are finding all kinds of barriers to voting this election season. So far, America Votes and the League of Women Voters have had reports of already registered voters being told they can't have an absentee ballot unless they produce a government-issued photo ID, and other voters are being told there is no Democratic Primary Election this year, only a Republican Primary Election.
Below is a guest blog post from Joan Flood Ashwell, an election law expert for the League of Women Voters in New Hampshire:

With about 1,700 state employees and lawmakers in the building every day, that leaves room for up to 1,300 more people,” according to the Indiana Economic Digest.
