“I will be asking the attorney general’s office for their input,” Secretary of State David Scanlan told the Globe. “And ultimately whatever is decided is probably going to require some judicial input.”

A debate among constitutional scholars over former president Donald Trump’s eligibility for the 2024 presidential race has reverberated through the public consciousness in recent weeks and reached the ears of New Hampshire’s top election official.

Secretary of State David Scanlan, who will oversee the first-in-the-nation presidential primary in just five months, said he’s received several letters lately that urge him to take action based on a legal theory that claims the Constitution empowers him to block Trump from the ballot.

Scanlan, a Republican, said he’s listening and will seek legal advice to ensure that his team thoroughly understands the arguments at play.

    I fully believe that one day a Trump supporter will attempt to break into my house to kill me because I don’t support him.

      I have had people fuck with me for making fun of Trump. It’s real. Guns, stealing… General crime shit. The local losers got together with all their guns at their whack illegal shooting range and showed half the town how much firepower they have. I followed the sound, found it, and someone shot bullets over my head. I heard the bullets wiz through the trees. (I was to the left of the firing range in a public trail. Not behind/infront)

      NH is full of naive people and criminals that can get away with anything.
