On @thepulseofnh this AM, @GovChrisSununu recounts how Donald Trump bailed on an endorsement of @ChuckMorseForNH for 2022 US Senate race.
"We was all set to endorse Morse, we talked about it, but at the last second, he chickened out."

@MikeGil21446788 @PAHAU6 @Grace2Amazing @TheGracieGato See this report about the Northern Border. #NHPolitics ignores (deliberately) the issue of drug trafficking and the northern border with Canada. How obvious does it have to be?

Mike Gill was always right and I'm not sure how much longer the New Hampshire Senators, members of Congress, Governor, AG, & US Attorney for New Hampshire can escape scrutiny. $932.5 billion in #PandoraPapers 300,000 opioid deaths. 2nd biggest arms manufacturer/exporter. Hello?!
Just woke up from my cat nap to see that convicted serial child fondler David Arthur Kendall is back on Twitter.
And @TheMaineWire's middle aged 4chan troll friend, Richard Coffron aka @unquirer) is excited to get involved with him. 😸

In Kendall's numerous videos, he has also admitted to molesting more children than just the one that he was convicted for.
Let's thank @TheMaineWire and @unquirer for making this pedophile feel so comfortable. 😸😸😸

I support the abolishing minimum wage laws. We have the right to work for whatever pay we agree on with our employers.
I owe my current career to working WELL BELOW minimum wage when I was almost 30.

After working in public policy for over 10 years straight, I decided to switch careers and get involved in the exciting and rapidly-growing crypto and blockchain industry.
But I had no relevant experience. I could write, but that's it. So I got a job with a news publication

They paid me ~$20 per article (in Bitcoin), and it took me several hours to finish each in the beginning. I worked my ass off for not much over $10k per year.
It was a struggle, but I fed myself and got the experience needed to still work and live on crypto 8 years later.

You all recently received a mailer from an organization named “Prevent Opioid Abuse” (.org), an organization which receives support and donations from many well known anti opioid zealot groups, groups who have been revealed as having many unreported conflicts of interest.
Conflicts of interest that include earning hundreds of thousands $$$ acting as “expert witnesses”, experts on the use of opioid analgesics to help in the managing of pain, when these “experts” have never worked with a single patient who suffered with an incurable pain condition.
Meet the disgraced political operative and alleged sexual predator behind the NH dark money group that spent over $200k on NH "liberty" candidates in 2022. #NHPolitics 1/9 (Photo: Gage Skidmore)
In January 2021, Young Americans for Liberty president Cliff Maloney was fired following a flood of accusations—using Twitter hashtag #YALtoo—of rape, sexual assault, harassment, and a toxic, misogynist culture at YAL. #NHPolitics 2/9
Among the reports was an accusation that NH congressional candidate and former state Rep. Tim Baxter (R-Seabrook) groped a fellow YAL state chair. "[H]is groping me started my dive into YAL's sham HR and spiraled into #YALtoo." #NHPolitics 3/9
Since @ChrisSununu felt the need to white wash his covid record in his inaugural address, we feel the need to remind the public of his record and the anti-science nonsense that ruled NH for over a year until Sununu pressured to end his reign as king of NH.

Over the weekend the @NH_DOJ filed in support of the @NHSecretary’s objection to @NHDems attempt to stop the resumption of the Manchester W6 @NHHouseofReps seat recount, which flipped the Election Day outcome by 1 vote #NHPolitics #WMUR
“My daughter and my nieces should not have to worry about the rights that I've been able to enjoy my entire adult life and that my grandmother and great-grandmother fought for," the state rep-elect said moments after her 1-vote win was announced.

Recounts underway now in NH House races today in Concord, including one race (Rockingham 5) that was decided by just 7 votes. @GraniteMemo #nhpolitics #nhleg
RECOUNT #1: No change in the outcome of the Rockingham 5 race. Confirms that Republican incumbent NH Rep. Cody Belanger lost his bid for re-election to Democratic challenger Mark Vallone. #nhleg #nhpolitics
The recount showed a tighter margin (5 votes rather than 7 votes) between the winning and losing candidates. Full results:
Right now: @NHSecretary David Scanlan says there will be 20 @NHHouseofReps recounts — the number was 16 on Friday & it could still go up through 4pm today. #NHPolitics #WMUR

Hey, @TheRealNHSteve, if you wanted to know whether Brock funds @GraniteMemo, you could have asked. The answer is no. I fund it myself.
So far the site isn't paying anyone's bills, mine included. I took a buyout from my USA TODAY job effective last month.

Steve took issue with my article about the NH voter confidence committee. The group has been criticized for platforming baseless election claims.
Multiple members said they believe their draft report's summary of testimony includes unreliable info.

When I asked for a copy of the committee's draft report, I read it with an open mind. I wanted to know where they were headed. Then I saw how prominently they planned to feature unvetted claims without clear attribution, context, analysis or discussion. granitememo.com/nh-voter-confi…
Clearly an error in #nhsen results from NH SOS, which show 193 votes for Bolduc & 1106 for Hassan in Columbia (pop. ~660). sos.nh.gov/elections/elec…

I’ve reached out to NH SOS.
Hassan appears to have won the statewide race by roughly 55,000 votes. Her victory was projected by media outlets that recorded 106 votes for her in Columbia (not 1106), so these Columbia numbers aren’t going to change the outcome. Still, we need to understand & fix the error.
I have seen a post that makes obviously implausible claims about this apparent data entry error. I am in favor of skepticism that seeks real answers. I’ll let you know what I find out.

For those who don't normally follow the @NHHouseofReps, this does not mean that the House would be tied. It means that the majority would be decided, on a session-by-session basis, depending on attendance. Typically 25-35 members who don't attend most sessions. (1/3)

This means that both parties would draft up their own state budget, for example, and 2 or 3 people who get sick would decided which one passes. (2/3)

Also gives @NHHouseGOP a lot of leverage with the Senate, since if the Senate amended a bill that the House GOP passes, there's no guarantee that bill could pass if it comes back for concurrence or committee of conference. (1/3)

I am going to guess that Dems hold their 14-10 minority in the NH state Senate by flipping Biden +9 SD-11, which they lost barely in 2020.
Dem Shannon Chandley is down just 172 votes without her very Dem hometown of Amherst reporting. #NHPolitics

SD-12 also remains out, and Dems should lose SD-16 to redistricting.
Amherst has dropped at Hassan +19. No way Chandley doesn't win even if she underperforms by 5%.
With a couple hours before some polls close @ 7 in New Hampshire, some thoughts about #NHPolitics bellwethers:
Rockingham County is always important, but this year especially so. Home to both @kleavittnh and @Maggie_Hassan. Watch western exurbs (Auburn, Chester, Derry, Sandown) for GOP strength vs. Dems from Exeter to Portsmouth.
North of Rockingham, Strafford County splits north-south. Around @UofNH, Durham to Dover is a big Democratic strength -- only question is HOW big (especially Durham, student turnout.)
But from Rochester through north, @kleavittnh and @GenDonBolduc should fare better.

We have two precincts in New Hampshire that have crossed 50% of their 2018 turnout (that we know of).
Manchester Ward 1 which is at 56% of 2018 (Biden +20, Pappas +22)
Manchester Ward 8 which is at 51% of 2018 (Biden +0.4, Pappas +3)

@andrewsylvia To be clear, 50% of the total votes cast in 2018 has been reached at almost exactly noon.
Other close ones:
Seabrook (Trump +13) is at 47.7% of 2018 as of 12:00pm
]Manchester 10 (Biden +11, Pappas +15) is at 47.2% o 2018 as of 12:00pm
Probably plenty more, but turnout is looking like it will come close to 2018 (depending on how the afternoon goes).

Voter turnout this morning was “very, very” strong and fairly steady in Newmarket, averaging one ballot every 10 seconds, according to Moderator Christopher Hawkins.
At this rate, Newmarket is on track to hit 60%-70% voter turnout, Hawkins said.

We have been catching hell for this poll, so in this thread, I want to lay out the case for our sample. #nhpolitics
1. the poll isn't biased against Republicans. We have Sununu+16; others have him +18. We also show Rs well ahead in the generic state senate ballot (others don't poll that, boo.) #NHPolitics
2. We've got election deniers! Across almost all polling, you see 2020 election denial among Republicans at about 70%; we have it at 68%. #NHPolitics

Neither A nor B is possible when voting for the LPNH this cycle. No candidate has a realistic chance of winning, and I don't like the message I would be sending with a vote of conscience.
