He began his career in New Hampshire politics as a state representative and was elected Secretary of State in 1976 by the state legislature. He has been kept in office by both Democratic and Republican legislatures since then.
Gardner has taken the lead in New Hampshire's policy towards "100% Paper Ballot" elections, in contrast to some states that use computerized voting systems without paper records of each vote.
A strong supporter of New Hampshire's standing as the 'first in the nation' primary state, Gardner wrote Why New Hampshire with the late former Governor Hugh Gregg in October 2003, detailing the history and significance of the New Hampshire Primary. He also appears in Winning New Hampshire, released in 2004.
OMG! If a County Clerk (or Sec. of State) EVER did this in other states, THEY WOULD BE TAKEN TO TASK BY THE COMMISSIONERS!!! I've worked the Election Dept. for many, many years, and this JUST DOES NOT HAPPEN. If it did, heads would roll. Those ballots ALWAYS go to THE VAULT! (Notice Mr. Gardner on the video---he looks like the cat that ate the mouse! He had NO sufficient answers to the questions asked of him! BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF A "FIRE", ALL BALLOTS ARE PUT IN THE VAULT! Any state that doesn't do this, NEEDS to be "watched" for VOTER FRAUD in their Counties!
