My most recent column explored the impact of redistricting on my race and explained the N.H. Partisan Voter Index (PVI). Today, I will explore the impact of gerrymandering on the state representative races in Carroll County as a whole.

The PVI measures how strongly a N.H. House district leans toward Democrats or Republicans in comparison to the state as a whole based on how that district voted in statewide races (governor, senator and presidential) in the preceding three elections.

So let me summarize this very good explanation of NH gerrymandering by former Democratic Rep Knirk.

Both parties gerrymander, but Republicans should stop doing so in NH because it is unfair to voters.

In other words, do as I say, not as I do.

Sounds like a typical argument by a Democrat.
