The Union Leader reports: The New Hampshire Attorney General has launched a comprehensive review of state voting procedures, after people obtained ballots of dead voters during the presidential primary on Tuesday.

…Associate Attorney General Richard Head said his office became aware of the effort on Election Day and immediately began an investigation. “That investigation is ongoing,” he said. “Based on the information received on Election Day and the information on the video, we are undertaking a comprehensive review of voting procedures with the Secretary of State.”

…Secretary of State Gardner said a fraudulent voter could check newspaper obituaries for recently dead people, and then go to a city or town to see if the name is on voting lists. The bogus voter could then go to a polling place and likely get a ballot, he said. Gardner said he’s open to changes in state voting procedures, but not the legislation that Lynch vetoed. Its provisional voting procedure would have been difficult to administer, Gardner said.

“I’m OK with photo ID, but I would like a way to do it without sending people home from the voting place without having cast a ballot,” Gardner said.

Republican House Speaker William O’Brien said Democrats have consistently maintained that no voter fraud takes place in New Hampshire. Now it’s been shown that flaws exist in the system.
“I’m afraid — I hope it doesn’t come down to this — it challenges our first-in-the-nation primary position,” O’Brien said.

He said Republicans are open to compromise as long as the New Hampshire voting pool is not diluted by non-resident or fictitious voters.
