I've just been notified that a "Richard C. Tracy - Chief Investigator - Election Law Unit" (not the guy in the vid below) has visited my residence in Winchester, NH. He was reportedly looking for me. His visit was apparently either August 1 or July 31. This was about two weeks after I left town to visit Colorado, where I have been since July 18 at the request of relatives. My best guess would be that this has something to do with the series of videos I shot about my registration process when I first voted in Winchester. Here's one of those vids:

They may be trying to determine if I was really living in Winchester at the time I cast my vote, which I think would have been November 2018. I would have drawn more attention than most voters, since I tried to film bureaucrats...and two people either freaked out about it or tried to restrict me from filming in some way. In fact the apparent local busy-body in the video above tried to interrogate me on the spot as to where I lived and appeared to be laying hands on my paperwork.  I'm gathering more info as of this writing, August 1, 2019.  More details to follow.

Good luck. You should be able to videotape in a polling place open to the public.

These will have more traffic but probably won't be updated as frequently as this thread here on forum.freestateproject.org

A possibility that has ocurred to me is that when I filled out my registration to vote, I didn't have as much paperwork with me as they wanted....to prove I'd moved to Winchester.  There is an affidavit you can sign where you affirm that you do live in the town where you're voting. That lets you vote without putting together a bunch of documents or buying an updated i.d. from the DMV.   But it warns that you may be investigated by the state.

you really never know what bureaucrats will do when you start filming them.

so I e-mailed this official just asking him what he needed.... he emailed me back and I got the impression that nothing else is going to happen, apparently he just wanted to see if I lived there while casting the votes....and when the owner indicated yes to that question he must have lost interest.
