High-Ranking GOP Legal Activist Fatally Stabbed – Police Investigating
2023-08-30
[American Liberty] Law enforcement officials have confirmed a homicide investigation has begun following the suspicious death of a prominent New Hampshire Republican.

The body of Alexander Talcott was found at his Durham home on Saturday morning. An autopsy found he died from a stab wound to the neck.

The New Hampshire Attorney General's Office confirmed Talcott, 41, served as the state director for the Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA), an organization committed to "advancing open, fair and honest elections."

"The RNLA is at the tip of the spear for our party in courtrooms and polling places all across the country. You ensure that Republicans get a fair shake and that Democrats, hard as this may be for them, play by the rules," Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) has said, praising the group's efforts. "When [a] Republican campaign needs a legal brief drafted at 3 a.m. on election night, they call you in their home states."

NBC Boston has more on Talcott's homicide, including remarks from William L. O'Brien, the former speaker of New Hampshire's House of Representatives:

#5  Domestic dispute? Seems more likely than a political hit - from either side.
