Carol Elliott, Treasurer of New Hampshire’s Grafton County, was defeated in a bid for re-election this month by a twenty-year-old Dartmouth undergrad. And she’s not happy about it.

Elliott, a Republican who lost by five hundred votes to Democrat Vanessa Sievers, a Dartmouth junior, told a local newspaper that “it was the brainwashed college kids that made the difference” in the election. “I’m concerned for the citizens of Grafton County,” she said. “You’ve got a teenybopper for a treasurer.”

Sievers, a history and geography major, has experience as a bookkeeper and had worked on various New Hampshire political campaigns before running for office herself.

Elliott said she’s considering a run for the NH state legislature, so that she can “change the law” that allows college students to run for public office.
