Matt Mowers, a former Trump administration official now running for Congress in New Hampshire, voted twice during the 2016 primary election season, records show.
in New Hampshire voted twice during the 2016 primary election season, potentially violating federal voting law and leaving him at odds with the Republican Party’s intense focus on "election integrity."
The issue could have particular resonance in New Hampshire, where Republicans have long advocated for tighter voting rules to prevent short-term residents, namely college students, from participating in its first-in-the-nation presidential primary. There is little chance Mowers could face prosecution. The statute of limitations has lapsed, and there is no record of anyone being prosecuted under this specific section of federal election law, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, which tracks the issue.
"With the right set of facts, it could be construed as a violation, but it's just not at all obvious to me that it is," said Steven Huefner, an Ohio State University law school professor who specializes in election law. "It is a pretty murky question." He also echoes the long-standing Republican criticism about out-of-state voters, endorsing efforts by the state's legislature to make sure "only legal residents of New Hampshire are entitled to vote."
