New Hampshire is usually in the political spotlight only when our "first in the nation" primary comes around every four years. However, when the rest of the country is not watching, we hold other elections as well. This includes the general election that follows in the autumn, long after all the national news outlets and their reporters have packed up and left after the winter ritual earlier in the year. In the fall New Hampshire is not seen to be as critical and hardly garners more than a passing mention of our general election results given our meager four electoral votes.
Come November, national media coverage typically focuses on the states with large numbers of electoral votes like California, New York, Texas, and Florida. They also look at swing states viewed as traditional bellwethers like Ohio and Missouri. Yet New Hampshire is not seen as a deciding state for the general presidential election even though we determined the one in 2000.
You read that correctly: New Hampshire's four electoral votes decided the Bush versus Gore election back in 2000. Hardly anyone had time to realize this with the ensuing drama that followed in the drawn out Florida recount that year as well as the Supreme Court case that went along with it. Former vice president Al Gore garnered 266 electoral college votes, and New Hampshire was the only state in the region to vote for George W. Bush.
Had Gore won New Hampshire instead of Bush, it would have brought Gore up to the magic 270 electoral votes needed to secure the election, even without Florida. When we look at that election from this perspective, about 7,000 New Hampshire voters (the margin by which Bush won) seized the presidential win from Gore.

Same day registration to vote. Thousands from neighboring Rat-Coomie states cross statelines to illegally vote in NH, and NH government clearly condones it. Therefore, I would be shocked if our President will have the votes to win NH because of this large scale cheating.
I voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and I did not vote for Kelly Ayotte.
I'm glad she lost.
Poor decisions by "our" politicians must have consequences. Her decision to attack Trump in October 2016 was reckless and foolish. It did not have the desired effect of costing him the election - but it could have.

It’s ok. He/she is non-binary.
We have same day registration and allow out-of-state college students to vote in our elections. A few thousand liberal votes from UNH (1st cong dist) and Dartmouth and Keene State (2nd cong dist) can swing all the races. Hopefully a lot of those a-holes stayed home due to COVID.
Where do you live? I live in the southeast part (Rockingham county) and except in some very liberal towns it is all Republican. Trump and Repub signs everywhere.
And, don't be surprised if they are more stupid than dogs and WILL crap where they sleep.
