In the wake of the 2020 election, Republicans found their new favorite talking point: voter fraud. Claims of widespread non-citizen voting have repeatedly been proven false. Yet, they’ve invigorated GOP lawmakers in state legislatures across the country, giving them a mandate to pass restrictive voting laws in the name of “stop[ping] the steal.” This wave of voter suppression has swept through multiple states, leading to policies that disenfranchise certain voter groups to the benefit of the GOP. Now, it has arrived in New Hampshire.

“Cycling up here is like the ultimate powder day,” my dad, Mr. Scarola, said just before departing on a gravel bike ride during my freshman move-in weekend. He was so consumed by the beauty of the Upper Valley that he got lost in the Norwich woods without cell service.

On July 7, my friend Won Jang ’26 was reported missing and later pronounced dead. He was last seen the previous night around 9:30 p.m. by the Connecticut River. His death was ultimately ruled an accidental drowning. Most days, I cannot help but wonder what might have happened if Won had been six feet tall and white. I cannot help but think that people would have reported him missing that night and stayed behind until he was found. Maybe he’d still be here today.
