Should be a top 5 or so takeover opportunity.
14K or so more votes cast in the rat primary. I don’t know how significant that is cause this the first time there’s been a contested primary on both sides recently.
On the RAT side, Maura Sullivan, a carpetbagger from Illinois and a USMC “combat veteran” had all the money and ads and was backed by RAT central, but lost to Chris Pappas, a local boy.
Remember, NH is 94% white, (and CD 1, where I live, is even more so), so elections are still about ideas among whites. Edwards won’t have as much of an advantage as the “first black whatever” would have in a state with POC voters in significant numbers.
Obviously I will vote for him.
NH Rs have net gained 7,000 since 2016, already had a registration lead.
