Snow Elections

From the BG:
"In New Hampshire, snow won’t stop local elections"
Neither snow nor wind will keep officials from opening the polls in New Hampshire on Tuesday. Regardless of the weather, the elections will go on. Whether many voters will turn out is another question.  The National Weather Service is predicting heavy snow in the Granite state, with accumulations of 10 to 14 inches and localized amounts of up to 18 inches. On Monday New Hampshire Secretary of State William M. Gardner and Attorney General Gordon J. MacDonald issued a statement Monday reminding everyone that the town elections scheduled for Tuesday would happen as scheduled in the New Hampshire, regardless of the looming snowstorm.

^ It appears the State officials in New Hampshire care more about the façade of Democracy  -where the polls are open yet no one can get to them to vote - rather than the safety of the residents of the state. It's pretty pathetic to hold elections knowing that the majority of people can not get to them because of the weather. Whomever decided it was a good idea to hold elections on the 2nd Tuesday of March wasn't very intelligent weather-wise. ^
