Though New Hampshire is a small state, its House of Representatives has 400 members—the largest state legislative body in the United States.

WTH? 400 legislators in a state that size? They should cut that to about 100.......................

NH has a population of about 1.3 million.

So there is one member of the state house for about every 3,200 people.

Do some rough calc on numbers of people who are voters, and estimated voter turnout, it’s possible that many of the house members are elected with fewer than 1,000 votes in an election.

In such small election districts you can see how 1 vote can make a difference there.

You run your state the way you want, and let us run ours the way we want.

Double it to 800, I live in NH and that would be an improvement.

I believe they only make about $200 a year and only meet a few times a year -- not like the obscenely overpaid MA legislators who dummied it up to a "full-time" job. At $200 a year, they'd have to have a real job -- or a really generous trust fund!
