A few thoughts on Election Eve: @NHGOP has not possessed the governor's office and at least half the congressional delegation since 2004.

Tomorrow is their best chance to do so since 2016, when @KellyAyotte lost by 1,000 votes and @frankguinta by 5,000.

(1/7) @NHDems have succeeded over the last decade by winning the tight ones: @SenatorShaheen and @Maggie_Hassan in '14; @HillaryClinton, @Maggie_Hassan again, @TeamSheaPorter and @RepAnnieKuster in '16.

Tomorrow is the acid test for @NHDems ability to win close.
