Northfield Resident Pleads Guilty to Unlawfully Removing Political Signs

Concord, NH - Attorney General John Formella announces that Nick
Moorhead (age 55) of Northfield, New Hampshire, pled guilty in Franklin District Court to one class B misdemeanor count of unlawfully removing political signs, contrary to RSA 664:17.

Mr. Moorhead had removed political signs from the front yard of a
private residence in Northfield prior to the November 5, 2024 State
General Election. The Court imposed a $250 fine plus $60 penalty
assessment, for a total penalty of $310. Pursuant to Part I, Article 11
of the State Constitution, Mr. Moorhead's right to vote in New Hampshire
is terminated unless later restored by the New Hampshire Supreme Court.

This matter was prosecuted by Senior Assistant Attorney General Brendan
A. O'Donnell. This matter was investigated by Election Law Unit
Investigator Cristina Ostrowski and the Northfield Police Department.

The Election Law Unit reminds the public that RSA 664:17 governs both
the placement and the removal of political advertising, and violations
of the statute can result in civil or criminal penalties. See RSA
664:17 ("No person shall remove, deface, or knowingly destroy any
political advertising which is placed on or affixed to public property
or any private property except for removal by the owner of the property, persons authorized by the owner of the property, or a law enforcement
officer removing improper advertising. Political advertising placed on
or affixed to any public property may be removed by state, city, or town maintenance or law enforcement personnel.").

Any person who believes a political sign has been unlawfully erected
should contact the Election Law Unit or the owner of the property where
the sign was erected. Any person who believes a political sign has been unlawfully removed should contact the Election Law Unit or local law enforcement.
