Good!

(I held my breath every time I saw a Trump event in southern New Hampshire, fearing I’d see my wingnut brother, who lives in Mass. but close to the border.)

It’s actually not all that good. I take the liberal-leaning Concord Monitor, which is filled with editorials and letters blasting Sununu for his remarks on “voter fraud” and other things. And we did manage barely to vote in Democratic Senators. But the state house is completely in the hands of Sununu’s party now and they are trying to use phantom fraud as a way to clamp down on voter rights.

On your other point: old timers here complain that an influx of Mass folks is making NH more liberal. Statistics point in the other direction: conservatives from Massachusetts have been moving into communities like Salem, Wyndham (Lewandowski’s home), and Bedford over the years making southern New Hampshire the thriving heart of Trump country.
