… As the second-oldest and fourth-whitest state in the union, New Hampshire might seem at first glance a Republican paradise. But upper New England whites don’t include many evangelicals or racists raging against minority incursions, since minorities, including immigrants, have largely stayed away. It’s a purple state with an all-Democratic congressional delegation. Most of its oldsters voted for Trump, but a sufficient majority of non-seniors has given the state to the Democrat in recent presidential elections. CONT.
