Here’s what I qikked earlier today, as Nashua district court security positioned themselves in front of both Jason Talley and my video cameras in an absurd attempt to censor the press. Higher quality video to come later.

A bill that would require college students to vote in their home towns, rather than in their college towns, has been generating a lot of controversy lately. A public hearing will be held tomorrow at the statehouse.
