With the Republican primary in New Hampshire less than a month away, New Hampshire taxpayers will be absorbing a higher than normal cost for the election.
The reason?
This ridiculously long list of Republican primary candidates has increased printing costs of the ballot due to additional paper and ink. The candidates were all polled for ideas on how to help pay for this unexpected cost of an unnecessarily long ballot. Here are their answers:
Repeal Obamacare – 26 candidates
Invade Iran, Syria, North Korea or somebody for God’s sake – Lindsey Graham
Get that Muslim Prag off the ballot, and that Canadian Cruz, too – Donald Trump
It is not unusual for ballads to be long – Ben Carson
I was able to reduce ballots by 50% when I was CEO of HP – Carly Fiorina
