Recounts May Decide New Hampshire Legislature

Washington Post: “What is unfolding in New Hampshire is a microcosm of a closely divided country voting in tightly fought contests, as well as an illustration of the electoral system’s resilience. So far the recounts, which are open to the public, have proceeded calmly.”

“Longtime observers of the state’s politics can’t remember an election in which the state House — the largest in the country — was so evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats. The number of recounts requested by candidates, meanwhile, is among the highest ever.”
