“House Democratic leader raises concern with Gardner election appointment”

Concord Monitor:

The House Democratic leader is seeking assurances that no New Hampshire taxpayer dollars will be used to support an election integrity commission President Donald Trump created to review alleged voter fraud.

Trump recently tapped longtime New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner to sit on the commission. It’s not yet clear when the group will start meeting or how much time it will consume.

“I am hoping that you will provide the citizens of New Hampshire assurance that no state money is used for your travel or accommodations while you are working in Washington, D.C. on this Commission,” wrote House Minority Leader Steve Shurtleff in a letter to Gardner on Monday. “In addition, I would hope that your state time is not used in the pursuit of your work for the commission.”
