Granite State counters: New Hampshire set for showdown over congressional maps

The Republican-led New Hampshire state Legislature passed a new congressional map on Thursday over the objections of the GOP governor as the state scrambles to apportion its federal districts.

Republican Gov. Chris Sununu dashed hopes that the Legislature’s map, which would have likely cemented a 1-1 partisan split between Republicans and Democrats for the state’s two congressional districts, would become law, quickly pledging to veto the bill on the grounds that it was too partisan.
