THE FACTS
Recruiting Litigants Against New Hampshire
“In emails sent from her official Executive Council account and obtained by NHJournal, Liot Hill refers potential plaintiffs to the Elias Law Firm. That’s the same Marc Elias who helped Hillary Clinton fund the research used in the now-debunked dossier behind the Russia collusion hoax.”
What We Can Do
New Hampshire Constitution allows Executive Councilors to be impeached by the House and tried by the Senate for corruption, malpractice, or maladministration.
Why She Should Be Impeached
Leveraging an official position to aid outside litigants against our state, squarely raises maladministration and malpractice in office. I

NHJournal: Emails Show Liot Hill Used Office to Help Dem Law Firm Sue NH Over Voter ID
August 13, 2025 – Damien Fisher
Calling herself “the top Dem” in state government, Executive Councilor Karen Liot Hill (D–Lebanon) has been using her official position to recruit plaintiffs for a potential lawsuit against New Hampshire’s newly enacted voter ID law, and directing them to a high-profile Democratic law firm in Washington, D.C.
In emails sent from her official Executive Council account and obtained by NHJournal, Liot Hill refers potential plaintiffs to the Elias Law Firm. That’s the same Marc Elias who helped Hillary Clinton fund the research used in the now-debunked dossier behind the Russia collusion hoax.
While Liot Hill’s actions may or may not be illegal, critics point out that she’s trying to help a Washington, D.C., law firm sue the state of New Hampshire—which could cost the state hundreds of thousands of dollars—while serving as one of New Hampshire’s fiscal watchdogs.
“This is astonishingly bad judgment from a member of what effectively serves as our state’s board of directors, ignoring her fiduciary duty to our citizens and taxpayers in favor of shameless partisan hackery,” a New Hampshire attorney who does business before the Executive Council told NHJournal on background. “Sad.”
The Elias Law Firm that Liot Hill is helping is notorious for its aggressive—and expensive—legal tactics on behalf of Democratic clients and causes, such as opposing voter ID requirements.
“I am writing to ask for your help,” Liot Hill wrote. “SB 287 was recently signed into law. This is a bill that will make it harder for people to vote in New Hampshire by forcing every absentee voter to provide a copy of an acceptable photo ID—or appear in person before a clerk or a notary—each time the voter requests an absentee ballot for any election.

August 14, 2025
House Deputy Majority Leader Joe Sweeney (R-Salem) released the following statement, calling for Executive Councilor Karen Liot-Hill’s resignation after she used her office for political lawfare against New Hampshire’s voter-ID law.
“Published emails show Executive Councilor Karen Liot-Hill used her official office to help a partisan, Washington D.C. law firm recruit plaintiffs to sue New Hampshire over our voter-ID and absentee safeguards. That’s not public service; that’s political lawfare run out of a taxpayer-funded inbox.
Under the New Hampshire Constitution, Executive Councilors can be impeached by the House and tried by the Senate for corruption, malpractice, or maladministration. What we’ve seen, leveraging an official position to aid outside litigants against our state, squarely raises maladministration and malpractice in office. I will not look the other way. When the legislative filing period opens next month, I will draft and file Articles of Impeachment against Councilor Liot-Hill.
Between now and then, Hill should immediately release every record related to her coordination with outside litigants and resign from the Executive Council. If she won’t do the right thing, the House will do its duty.
New Hampshire’s message is simple: we protect the integrity of our elections, we don’t outsource state policy to D.C. operatives, and no official, not even the highest ranking Democrat in state government, is above accountability.
