"It's a committee of crackpots and Gardner (the Democrat from NH on the committee) is a crackpot."

Republicans are upset that ex-Senator Kelly Ayotte, Mitch McConnells darling, lost to Maggie Hassan, a Democrat, by a small number of votes in New Hampshire last November. And Trump has claimed that "bus loads of people" voted illegally in New Hampshire, which is why he didn't win the state in November. NH's Republican Gov Sununu and state legislature responded by passing a voter suppression law making it almost impossible for out-of-state college students to vote in NH elections.

In response to this new law, Howard Dean says "New Hampshire should lose its first in the nation (election primary) status after passing an unconstitutional voter suppression law."
