According to Seacoastonline, Warren Goddard and his friend Susan Gallagher went to the Ward 4 polls at Portsmouth High School on Tuesday looking to vote. Though signs at the polls said masks were required, Goddard said there is no law requiring it.

A tented area was set up outside for anyone who wanted to vote without a mask, but Goddard refused to vote outdoors. He said an officer at the polls told him he'd have to leave if he wouldn't wear a mask, but he told them, "I'm not leaving here without a cop taking me out." Two additional officers were called to the scene, but the two friends were eventually allowed to vote inside without masks.
