New Hampshire election security and Senate candidacy

As New Hampshire prepares for elections on September 8, local leaders and political figures are highlighting the state's electoral processes and candidate profiles.

Bipartisan co-chairs of the Democracy Defense Foundation in New Hampshire are emphasizing the security of the state's voting system. They note that elections are administered locally by town and city officials, ensuring transparency. A key feature of the system is the use of physical paper ballots for every vote, which serve as the official record. While some communities count by hand and others use machines, no ballot-counting machines in the state are connected to the internet.

In the political sphere, Scott Brown is campaigning for the U.S. Senate, positioning himself as an independent-minded leader. His background includes service in the Army National Guard, a term in the U.S. Senate where he co-authored the STOCK Act, and a role as the U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa.
