The political landscape
New Hampshire prizes its first-in-the-nation primary tradition and low-tax identity. With no state income or sales tax, its politics turn on property taxes, education funding and housing, and its small electorate swings between the parties.
Its largest population centers include Manchester, Nashua, Concord. Where a state's people live, and what those places do for a living, is the starting point for how Electorate HQ simulations reason about it.
