Granite State Free Ride: “The Federal Government Never Seemed to Care”

We never sought preclearance to change the voting hours in Antrim, Boscawen or eight other towns, or for changes in state law that affected those towns. Getting off the U.S. Department of Justice’s list was time-consuming and expensive, so we never bothered. And the federal government never seemed to care.”
