Bummer.
Very different state than it was even 15 years ago.
Now you know what NH will look like in 15-20 years.
The Eastern Vermont part of NH is too much for the GOP to overcome.
Is the eastern part growing any faster than the Republican Boston suburbs...?
I honestly don't know (leaning no), but does it really matter? Republicans need to win the 1st district by a much wider margin in order to win statewide. It's the NH natives (especially women) that have trended strongly Democratic in the past two decades. IIRC, Scott Brown even won MA transplants in 2014. While I admit that Trump will keep NH closer than Romney in a close election, it's impossible to see how he could win the state. He has a much better chance of winning Maine's second district, where there's no "Vermontification" going on.
The same Democratic trend is also happening in VT, Western MA and parts of Upstate NY.
