(214 posts)You have to keep in mind that NH has been seeing a lot of Massachusetts people move there to avoid the higher taxes in MA. The SE corner of NH could rightfully be considered a suburb of Boston these days.

Hopefully we can turn that around.

(3,164 posts)NH folks pride themselves on being politically active, and in recent years they've been quite schizophrenic. Last year they voted for Biden, Shaheen, and two Democrats for their US House seats, while at the same time giving total control of their state legislature to the Republicans. I can only guess that the Republicans use scary "tax increase" talk to scare people into voting for them on the state level.
But you're right, southern NH has many transplants from Massachusetts. It's quite easy to live in southern NH and commute into the Boston area for work. The airport in Manchester, NH is now a viable alternative to Logan Airport in Boston.
Fun fact: NH was the only state that voted for George W in 2000 that then flipped to Kerry in 2004. They have supported the Democrat in every presidential election since then - Kerry, Obama twice, Clinton, and then Biden.
If only Gore had won NH in 2000! Then Florida wouldn't have mattered.

Will be an epic backfire if what Texas and other states are doing with abortion laws causes a massive Blue Tsunami next year.
