I think that Jeri, a relative newcomer, has called this election correctly, thus far.

But speaking as a native with 65 + years of experience and participation, I would offer some cautions.

New Hampshire is currently being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st Century. Once a bastion of staunch Republican conservatism, the stae is experiencing a Renaissance of humanity and civilisation. It is therefore, not that predictable.

Dixville Notch and Hart's Location will be voting at midnight, but I don't recall more than two Democratic votes in the past fifty years.
