Coos County

As promised, a follow-up to last week’s post on the state primary:

As Fergus Cullen rightly noted, the three towns of Rockingham County that sit in NH 02 (Atkinson, Salem, and Windham) represent a large number of votes.  Indeed, these three towns cast more votes in the September primary than Coos County or Sullivan County. 

What's more, those three towns are heavily Republican.  Combined, they cast 3,450 GOP ballots and 1,755 Democratic ballots in the state primary.
