"Following Boudman’s win, Republicans now hold a 214-178 advantage in the 400-member state House, with one seat held by an independent and the rest vacant.

Given New Hampshire’s penchant for major swings at the state level, Boudman’s showing suggests Democrats have a real shot at reclaiming the House in November, when every seat will be up."

I hope Democratic voters aren't too disappointed if the Democrats get back in power and turn out to be completely useless as always. But that's their job: to make sure that the left fails. That's how they serve the oligarchs.

@AkaSci Honestly, 39% turnout for a special election is super high. Even for New Hampshire. That is also very telling.
