Republican
U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will hold a Manchester news conference
Friday, August 21st to document how the University of New Hampshire is
manipulating its polling operation to undermine the Republican Party’s 2020
primary, by nominating a sure loser as a U. S. Senate candidate. UNH pollsters operate
with the goal of ensuring the reelection of socialist princess Jeanne Shaheen. “Behind
the scenes, New Hampshire politics is just as corrupt as Chicago’s,” says Andy.
“The image of the state, of village greens and white church steeples, is a facade
behind which extremist Democrats have constructed a Chicago-style political
machine that manipulates ‘polling’ by the state university. One GOP candidate promoted
by UNH has both a drunk driving record and faces felony indictment during the
campaign, for financial fraud in Colorado. The other candidate is making
anti-gay slurs at a time when the GOP is going in the opposite direction. UNH
pretends Shaheen’s toughest November opponent doesn’t exist and has erased his
name from its polling operation. This is crooked, Chicago-style politics behind
a bucolic backdrop.”
Who: U. S.
Senate candidate Andy Martin
What: Andy explains
how corrupt faculty at the University of New Hampshire are trying to rig senate
election polls to undermine the Republican Party and reelect leftist hero Jeanne
Shaheen
Where: In front
of Manchester City Hall, One City Hall Plaza
When: Friday, August
21, 2020 – 4:00 P.M.

NOTICE OF WILLFUL AND WANTON VIOLATION OF NEW
HAMPSHIRE’S RIGHT TO KNOW (“RTL”) LAW BY UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE PERSONNEL
AND SECOND EMERGENCY REQUEST FOR INVESTIGATION AND DISCLOSURE OF DOCUMENTS AND
ALL RECORDS BY UNH
Dear President Dean:
On August 17th I sent an emergency Right to
Know (“RTL”) request for an investigation because of a persistent pattern of violations
of the RTL law and polling practices by your Andrew Smith. I believe I also
sent you a copy of my RTL request that was sent directly to Smith. If not, it
is attached to this email.
The RTL law requires good faith compliance by state employees.
Your Mr. Smith is trying to frustrate compliance, so I am now making a direct
demand personally to you as President to (1) disclose all polling data,
records, memoranda, etc. for the U. S. Senate 2020 election in New Hampshire,
as previously requested, and to (2) order Mr. Smith to comply with my prior
demand for RTL documentation.
I don’t know whether Mr. Smith is a complete asshole, or
whether he is trying to provoke a lawsuit and involve UNH in a RTL compliance
scandal. But instead of the materials I requested, Mr. Smith decided to play
word games and denied they existed:
Mr.
Martin:
I
received your email request. The UNH Survey Center has not conducted any
polling regarding the 2020 New Hampshire Republican Primary. We have not
had any contracts with or payments received from WMUR or the Union Leader
regarding the NH Republican Primary. We have no specific plans for
conducting any polling for the New Hampshire Republican Primary.
Andrew E.
Smith, Ph.D.
I was amazed by his response because although I was
generally aware of UNH’s polls, I did not have the specific citations. I had to
do my own research on Smith’s polling which mentioned my Republican Party
primary opponents. I found that Smith had conducted three (3) polls mentioning
my primary opponents, and one that mentioned Shaheen generally:

UNH Abstract
Senator Jeanne Shaheen and Governor Chris Sununu hold
large leads over their major challengers in their bids for reelection. Shaheen's
leads over Republicans Don Bolduc and Corky Messner have remained steady
since February. Sununu also has maintained wide leads over Democratic
challengers Dan Feltes and Andru Volinsky.

UNH Abstract
Senator Jeanne Shaheen holds clear leads over prospective
Republican challengers Former New Hampshire House of Representatives Speaker
Bill O'Brien, Retired General Don Bolduc, and Attorney Corky Messner. As
their reelection contests approach, Representatives Chris Pappas and Annie
Kuster are viewed favorably by pluralities of their constituents, but many are
neutral or are unaware of them.

UNH Abstract
As the 2020 Congressional elections approach, New
Hampshire senator Jeanne Shaheen continues to enjoy high favorability, but
residents are divided whether she should be reelected. Three of her declared
Republican challengers have very low name recognition in the state.
Representative Chris Pappas is somewhat popular in New Hampshire's First
District, but residents are divided on whether he should be reelected. Second
District residents are less positive about Representative Annie Kuster and a
plurality would prefer that someone else be elected to Congress in 2020.

UNH Abstract
New Hampshire's senior senator Jeanne Shaheen remains the
most popular member of the state's Congressional delegation ahead of her 2020
reelection campaign. Shaheen's colleague Maggie Hassan is slightly less
popular, while representatives Annie Kuster and newly-elected Chris Pappas are
only somewhat popular in their respective districts.

So UNH had clearly conducted polls on my 2020 primary opponents.
No reasonable person would believe that after polling on my primary opponents
specifically mentioned by name, Smith’s claim there were no polls was a bona
fide response.
In his poll several weeks ago, Smith tried to use the term
“major” challengers when Smith had previously referred to them as little-known
and I am the only one of the three whose name has actually been on a ballot.
Smith is playing dangerous games with our democracy; he
is corrupting your institution’s compliance with the RTL and seeking to rig the
election in favor of a “patsy” Republican primary winner for Shaheen, because
the socialist-liberal-Antifa cabals at UNH clearly prefer her as an elected
official.
I am now making a formal demand to you personally to comply
with my earlier demand as well as a demand for the same 2020 election materials
discussed in this letter. I also ask that you order Smith to comply in good
faith with the demand in this letter and the demand in my earlier letter, and that
you further order Smith to stop making a joke of the RTL with his smart-alecky
and evasive responses.
Smith’s behavior as documented above is beyond contempt
but exposes the radical, anti-American atmosphere at UNH. The harassment and abuse
of conservative Republican candidates by UNH employees, when our tax dollars
also pay your salaries, is bound to injure the university as an institution. If,
by implication and silence, you endorse Smith’s harassment and abuse, I surely
plan a “corporate campaign” to expose UNH’s contemptible behavior and publish them
widely so that students and parents know what a thoroughly despicable and compromised
institution UNH has become.
Because UNH polling is so totally tilted in Shaheen’s
favor, I believe an argument can be made that your rigged polls constitute an
illegal contribution to Shaheen in violation of the Federal Election Contributions
Act (“FECA”).
Once again, I renew my demand for emergency RTL action
and compliance. The RTL law mandates that RTL request be expedited, NH Stat §91-A:7.
Our great public universities should be defenders of
democracy, not seek to rig elections and make a mockery of our political institutions.
Sadly, UNH is rapidly becoming a disgrace because of its leftist/socialist/Antifa
orientation, not to mention the cancerous impact of your Confucius Institute.
Because my RTL request has now been made directly to you,
in response to Mr. Smith’s evasiveness, you are personally responsible for
seeing that compliance is made with my demands.
Please respond promptly as this is an urgent request. I don’t
want to take legal action if it can be avoided, but UNH’s behavior disrupts and
delays my campaign and the university must be held accountable for its
misconduct.
Sincerely yours,
Andy
