In the last presidential election, over 70% of eligible voters in NH cast their votes. This was better than the ~60% nationwide. We do well, but should be encouraging the other 30% and making sure every legitimate voice is heard. Nobody ineligible should be voting, but those at high medical risk should not fear exposure to cast their ballot. Mail-in ballots and early voting are a start. Day-of registration is useful, assuming proof of eligibility. Programs to get acceptable ID's to those without them would help. What else is keeping people from the polls?

There are examples of voting fraud in NH and elsewhere, and some of those people rightfully got in trouble. There are many more examples of eligible citizens that couldn't vote for one reason or another, yet nobody was held accountable. That appears to be a bigger problem than fraud. While we should hope the virus doesn't suppress voter participation in November, the state should be preparing a work-around because it might be.
