’ Celebrating Nashua Area Kayak Exploration
Destinations

Nashua Area Kayak Exploration Destinations is a special group that
makes Nashua a great place. Founded five years ago, its 1,400 members
are kayak (and some paddleboard!) enthusiasts, good stewards of our
waterways and are dedicated to bringing the community together; and

Founding members Trisha Mullm and Beverly Monagle say the
camaraderie, fun, exercise and chance to get outside are what they love
most about being in this group. Nashua Area Kayak Exploration
Destinations is focused on bringing kayakers together to set on the water
and kayakers of varying ages and skill level getting to know each other.
Nashua is a unique and special place for kayakers, with the Nashua River
running through downtown; and

During what has been a difficult year, Nashua Area Kayak Exploration
Destinations brought joy into our lives with its Halloween kayak parade
and two nighttime kayak parades in the Nashua River, featuring kayaks
adomed with bright, colorful lights. In previous years, the group joined
in on downtown music events and helping with duck herding for the
annual Rotary Duck Race and its members lent a hand in monthly
cleanups of Mine Falls Park. They’ve also seen a rise in membership
this year, as Nashuans were looking for fun outdoor activities; and

Thank you Nashua Area Kayak Exploration Destinations for lighting up
our hearts this summer, for giving Nashuans something to smile about
and for helping community members find a new fun pastime; and

I, Jim Donchess, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF NASHUA, NEW
HAMPSHIRE, do hereby recognize Nashua Area Kayak
Exploration Destinations as a special part of the Nashua community.

Ja dukes.

Subject: Problems with Absentee Voting during Primary Election 8 September 2020.

Dear City Clerk:

1 wanted to bring the following problems with absentee voting to your attention. These problems
relate to my own experience, but I presume are widespread:

1,

or)

I applied for an absentee ballot on 18 August, the ballot was mailed on 24 August and
returned on 28 August (see SOS record, Exhibit #1, attached). Not counting the several
days delay for USPS delivery to and from my address, this represents a 10-dy delay in
processing. | consider this excessive, for it would appear that many voters who
requested a ballot less than 10 before the election would be disenfranchised.

In fact, my grandson Cameron Lee was disenfranchised by this very delay. He requested
an absentee ballot on 29 August (see Exhibit #2, attached) but had not received the ballot
before the election on 8 September. Furthermore, there is no SOS record of his absentee
ballot request (see Exhibit #3, attached)

Cameron’s mother called the city clerk office during the week prior to the clection to ask
where she could get an absentee ballot but a temp who answered said she was only a
temp and had no answers. My own call to the city clerk on Monday 7 September
concerning Cameron’s missing absentee ballot was answered with a “leave a message”
which was not returned.

I asked the moderator in Ward 1 on Election Day for an absentee ballot so it could be
delivered to Cameron for signature and returned by his mother, but was told a ballot
cannot leave the polling place. I asked the moderator to verify this with the city clerk
with his cell phone (moderators are supposed to have a direct connection), but again the
city clerk did not answer the phone.

Having voted with an absentee ballot I decided to test the absentee election’s susceptibility
to fraud, as widely forewarned in the media. I went to Ward 1 and requested a ballot.
After showing my ID I was handed a ballot, ready to vote a second time.

Page 2 of 2

6. At this time I asked for the moderator and informed him I was handed a ballot although I
had already voted absentee. The moderator assured me that if I had voted my name on the
voter check list would have been checked against the absentee envelope and the absentee
ballot would have been discarded.

7. At best, this clerical process adds extra work to the absentee ballot counting process; at
worst a double vote would not be caught. In my opinion, the election clerk was not
properly trained and should not have handed me a ballot (when I asked, she did not know
why my name on the voter checklist was highlighted with yellow highlighter).

I point this out in some detail in the expectation the absentee ballot process will improve, to
avoid both disenfranchising voters and to eliminate voter fraud. From my personal experience
this primary election, unless corrected I see gross problems with the absentee ballot process
where many voters now are able to vote absentee merely by marking COVID-19 on the absentee

ballot on form.

Re: Facial Covering Ordinance 0-020-029

| sent you my 'corrected' Pers/Admin. Affairs Committee testimony the other day, and
this is a follow-up email, for your BOA Meeting.

The vast majority of people | see in area stores wear face coverings. Some people,
though, absolutely refuse to comply. As I said in my Committee testimony, there are
plenty of options for people who don't want to wear a mask.... i.e. on-line ordering, take-
out, shopping and delivery services, etc. And face coverings are readily available, for
anyone who doesn't have one.

| asked one of the city's grocery store managers last week, if things might be easier for
their store, if this ordinance -- basically, ‘no mask - no service’ was adopted.... He told
me YES. Healso told me that both Police and Health Dept. people have been

to his store, attempting to educate people about why the face masks need to be

worn.

| support this Ordinance for the Public Health 'greater good' of our City.

A suggestion, under section 10 of the Ordinance, you might want to expand entrance
notices to read: "FACE COVERINGS REQUIRED FOR ENTRANCE AND SERVICE IN
THIS STORE"

Sincerely,
Sue Newman

Subject: Questions about mask mandate

CAUTION: This email came from outside of the organization. Do not click links/open attachments if source is

Dear Aldeman

Here are some quesiions | would like to.ask you regarding the proposed mask ordinance in Nashua
1) Are you aware the CDC said on Aug 24th that masks are ineffective in stopping viral transmission
hips /www. washingtonexaminer com/news/cdc-quidelines-say-wearing-a-mask-during-prolonged-
exposure-to-coronavirus-woni-prevent-possibie-intection

2) Are you aware thai the boxes that both surgical masks and N95 masks come in, clearly state they
will not stop Covid-19 or other viral spread? This is because the pores of the mask are much larger
than the virus which is only 0.1 microns in size.

3) Are you aware on July 6 WHO said asymptomaiic spread is rare?

4) Are you away the CDC just lowered the number of deathes caused solely by Coronavirus by 94%
dropping the nationwide death toll from 180, 000 to just over 9,000

5) Are you aware that requiring people to wear a mask can cause all kinds of problems from dizziness
& fainting, io ,cancer, heart attacks & collapsed lungs from breathing hin an improper O2 & CO2
mix. Additionally the surface of ihe mask that faces the wearer becomes warm & moist and as as a
petri dish multiplying exhaled germs. This can lead to pleurisy, meningitis, staph Infections &
increased tooth decay (currently being reported by dentist as mask mouth).

6) Why was there no mask mandate in the first four months and suddenly as numbers have dropped
fo near zero are you calling for one now. People were not dropping like flies those initial months.

7) Are you aware that a surgical mask js called surgical masks because they are designed to be
used in surgery by trained medical personal io keep spittle from contaminating open surgical
wounds. The masks are being used in sierile air conditioned rooms. The rooms are pumped with
extra oxygen fo compensate for the O2/CO2 ratio change that is caused by mask wearing. Medical
staff are also trained not to touch their faces. This is a far cry from the situation created when a town
forces a mask mandate on all its citizens including children.

Here is a report showing evidence of ineffectiveness & harm of masks

A virus is less than .f microns in size. Neither a cloth nor surgical mask can stop a particle that small.
So wearing a mask to stop Covid-19 is an illusion.

Wearing a mask does not allow you to breath properly. li will decrease the percentage of O2 you
breath in and increase the CO2. This creates a condition called Hypercapnia
