When I went to the Trump rally in Manchester last August, I would bet at least half the people there were from MA. Here in NH the liberal areas are all centered around UNH(Durham), Dartmouth(Hanover), Keene State and Plymouth. These are all the college towns.
The other more liberal area of NH is the central part of the state in the Lakes Region. These are the retirees from other states that now live year round at the lake front/former vacation home. They moved here and then want to change our tax system from a system heavily relying on real estate taxes to an income tax. This is because the waterfront houses on the big lakes pay all the taxes. Check out Tuftonboro or Moultonboro or Wolfeboro.
These towns actually have one of the lowest real estate tax rates in the state of NH. It is because every lake front house is over $1 million and up to $10 million in value. Therefore, houses that you can not see the lake that are even 1/4 mile from the water are the least taxed houses in the state. Therefore, towns like Tuftonboro, NH with their no income tax, no sales tax and low property tax rate make it literally the least expensive tax burden town in the USA.
Well, as a Virginian who knows the city slickers voted in our dingbat left-wing governor and turned out state “blue” happened same reason. See below:
