N.H. News Recap

A coalition of Democratic voters is challenging the state’s gerrymandered political districts. Their case against the state is before the New Hampshire Supreme Court. And with the New Hampshire House so closely divided this session, attendance has played a major role in key votes on policy. Most representatives are showing up consistently, but not all of them are able to make it to the State House.
