Breaking down New Hampshire's political geography

Yea he actually does.

[@devinelgert4880]

I'd suggest getting your facts straight: 1). Belknap County is NOT by any stretch of the imagination the North Country. Furthermore, Romney's summer home is in Wolfeboro, which is inCarroll County. 2). The Mass transplants have settled in the towns and suburbs of the southernmost counties (Hillsborough and Rockingham); these are actually some of the most Republican areas of the state, thus they came to repudiate, not replicate Taxachusetts.

[@fqoff4654]

From my experience a good part of the MA expats are disgruntled red voters who got fed up with the taxes and immigrant gang violence. This makes sense.

[@linearmemories]

Yep, I caught both of those mistakes, as well.

[@altchanel9693]

Yeah lil mass.. to bad all the flatties moved up into the ct valley.. no young republicans can afford to pay taxes in haverhill need the cutters or Yorkers for that

[@StevenCryar]

How has the libertarian migration affected politics overall throughout the state?

[@americanflyer4126]

It's had some impact for sure but not as much as libertarians would like. Yankees really don't like outsiders coming in and trying to change our ways. We are stubborn! Also, the NH House has 400 members. It would take at least a couple of dozen new libertarians to really affect things.

[@noblephoenix6151]

I heard that the FSP just recently met their goal of so many people, and now the great migration is starting. All the Libertarians there were just eager, early arrivals.

[@edsanville]

This division makes no sense. Merrimack and Strafford couldn't be more different in most ways. Belknap doesn't really have a lot in common with Coos, either. Basically, New Hampshire is a Republican sandwich. Democrats along the Vermont border around Dartmouth College, and Democrats in the east around UNH. The rural areas are Republican, as well as some cities in the center of the state.

In due time.

voted for bill clinton john kerry and al gore and obama they only vote republican because of taxes they as liberal as the rest of new england!

[@pattysherwood7091]

New Hampshire has a law that allows strangers to walk into a city hall and register to vote moments before they vote. So of course the busy Democrats of Mass. drive up here in droves and cheerfully vote. In my city we had over 540 young people register to vote on election day , and vote for Hillary. Hillary won by about 250 votes in Somersworth. I can tell you with all certainty that those 540 people were not new residents of Somersworth. Our population is stable. Our state has been ruined by democrats and socialism being forced down our throats by Agenda 21 in every town and city.

[@reactionvideos9509]

Patty Sherwood ah yes, Somersworth, New Hampshire decided the election

[@Obscured1972]

It's the college kids. Hillary won by less than 3k votes. 6k people voted with out of state ID in and around college towns. I'm in Sullivan, we went red. Cheshire, to our south (Keene State) and Grafton to our north (Dartmouth) went blue of course

[@gregwarner3753]

Completely false. People from outside the State of NH can not register and vote in NH. Our system is designed to prevent such fraud.

[@foffjerkholes4995]

What drugs do you do? I have been living in New Hampshire my whole life and you are absolutely NOT ALLOWED TO REGISTER TO VOTE ON ELECTION DAY. As a matter of fact, Seabrook requires you too register to vote a year in advance, especially if you are changing party. Once you go to vote you have to show your New Hampshire ID TWICE. ONCE TO GET INTO THE VOTING AREA, THEN YOU ARE ID'D AGAIN WHEN PICKING UP YOUR BALLOT, and that your address even if in the same town has to be what the town or city has on your original registration. This State has some of the STRICTEST LAWS OF ANY I HAVE HEARD FROM MY FELLOW AMERICANS, when it comes to leaning far right on voting. I have no idea what the hell your talking about ruined by democrats when over half of all registered voters in the state are Independent by an average of 52% and solid even on Democrats and Republicans. Socialism being shoved down our throats? I have watched as the elders in my family get less and less assistance. The republicans you run into are mostly uneducated, imbred families that living in essentially third world conditions, with their houses falling apart and because we are the "Granite State" the water you drink if your more likely to be one of these original New Hampshire Citizens, drink water that is filled with hazardous amounts of arsenic and radon. They're are cancer clusters and superfund sights all over the place. The police are THE WORST, MOST POORLY TRAINED, OVER EQUIPED GANG IN THE STATE. Every time I have needed an officer for an emergency, I was always the person held and questioned and not the buttheads blasting their country music, drunk as hell at 2:00 in the morning. I have literally been to rallies with all three major political leanings, and tons of people with their home made signs held high with their political leanings one liners written with crayon for all too see and you will consistently see republicans flashing signs saying things like "keep your government hands off my medicare" and "keep your government hands off my social security". Seriously, they don't realize that medicare and social security are "social programs" installed by their lefty pals, but rights that are built into the Constitution. WHAT THE HELL? THE CONSTITUTION DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT MEDICARE OR SOCIAL SECURITY BECAUSE THESE GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS HAVEN'T HAD A CENTINNEAL YET! Uneducated, and proud of it. Somersworth's only won by about 250 votes in quite possibly the most liberal city in the State of New Hampshire is just complete BS. My wife and I lived right across the river in Berwick, ME and when driving to route 16 going through Somersworth, you couldn't go 100 feet during and election cycle with yards covered in liberal candidates. Do you even live in this state? Where in New England do you live? Agenda 21 was a NON BINDING, UN INITIATED AGREEMENT THAT SET PLANS FOR SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC AND CLIMATE BACK IN 1992!!!! Again, this was signed by the entire USA, not any particular state and most importantly, IT IS NON BINDING, AS IN, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IT, NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU! Do you know this State relies on the Climate not changing because TOURISM IS THE LARGEST INDUSTRY. We need Snow for our mountains in the winter, for the skiers, nice clean water and blue skies for hikers and the cleanest stretch of coastline (although it is only 18 miles long) and ocean water COMPARED WITH THE ENTIRE EAST COAST. We need tourist dollars, because that is the only industry that is taxed. I love and hate this state at the same time because of these issues, but New Hampshire has to get inline with times and the region. Also, why are you so threatened by living in the highest income earned area with some of the most beautiful places to visit bolstered by the most educated our country has to offer?
