Deeply Blue New England Disrupted by Republican Wins in Down-Ballot Races

 

The Senate flipped from a 14–10 Democrat majority to a 14–10 Republican majority, the 400-seat House that had 157 Republicans will now have 213, and Republicans have taken control of the powerful Executive Council, 4–1. The Executive Council, unique to the Granite State, appoints government officials, controls the release of money from Treasury, and can make pardons.

The Democrat stronghold in New England has weakened after a few lower-ticket 2020 election surprises, including an entire state’s legislature flipping to red and two House speakers being ousted by Republicans.

One enormous upset came out of New Hampshire, where both chambers of its legislature and its Executive Council lost their Democrat majorities.
