How is it possible that Republicans have won an enormous majority in Concord even though Democrats received more votes? If the maps are rigged, the number of votes for each candidate becomes irrelevant.

In 2019, the New Hampshire Legislature passed a bipartisan bill to establish an independent redistricting commission made up of five Democrats, five Republicans and five independents. Gov. Chris Sununu vetoed the bill, arguing that existing laws already prevent partisan gerrymandering.

Wow! So finally, the shoe is on the other foot, and Democrats are going out of their minds, breaking laws and abandoning their responsibilities. Seriously, that's nothing new. They have the emotional strength and conviction of prepubescent teenagers.

Democrats have been redrawing districts forever without a care in the world as long as it kept them in control. You'd think there were no Republicans in all of New England based on the district maps they've created through gerrymandering.

While we're at it, let's codify Voter IDs. Maybe we should consider ending the filibuster and packing the courts, too. How about indicting some Democrat operatives? Nobody is above the law, right? Just ask Nancy Pelosi. It's past time Republicans start acting like Democrats. After all, as St. Obama once said, "Elections have consequences". He was also a huge believer in Executive Orders.
