A Republican-backed redistricting plan would make New Hampshire’s First Congressional District more competitive for Republicans but effectively cede the Second Congressional District to the Democrats. Here’s why it should be opposed.

The U.S. Constitution requires a decennial census. The 2020 U.S. census showed that New Hampshire’s overall population grew by 61,059 people or 4.6 percent since the 2010 census. Now, 18,000 more residents are in the First District than the Second, requiring some adjustment in the boundaries for the congressional districts. New Hampshire is one of the states that decides voting districts by a vote of the state legislature.
