Democrats gained a majority in the 2018 elections for the New Hampshire House of Representatives, winning 233 seats to Republicans' 167. All 400 House seats were up for election. At the time of the election, Republicans held 212 seats to Democrats' 167, with two Libertarian-held seats and 19 vacancies. As of 2018, the 400 members came from 204 districts, of which 105 were single-member and 99 were multi-member. The multi-member districts were represented by between two and 11 members.

Ballotpedia identified 103 districts with 227 seats total as battlegrounds. This total included 35 single-member districts, 18 of which were held by Democrats and 17 of which were held by Republicans, as well as 68 multi-member districts, of which 17 were represented entirely by Democrats, 20 entirely by Republicans, and 31 by representatives from both parties.

Of the 35 single-member districts, Democrats won 29, including 13 previously-Republican districts, and Republicans won six, including two previously-Democratic districts. Of the 68 multi-member districts, Democrats won full control of 37, including 17 previously-split and two previously-Republican districts. Republicans won full control of 13 districts, including three previously under split control. The remaining 18 districts, including seven previously-Republican districts, fell under split control.

Heading into the election, New Hampshire had been a Republican trifecta since 2016 when Republicans took control of the governorship. Republicans took control of the state House in the 2014 elections and the New Hampshire State Senate in the 2010 elections. Before taking the state House in 2014, Republicans controlled the chamber from 2011 to 2012. The last Democratic trifecta in New Hampshire formed after the 2006 elections and lasted until 2010.

The New Hampshire House of Representatives was one of 87 state legislative chambers holding elections in 2018. There are 99 chambers throughout the country. The New Hampshire House of Representatives was one of 22 state legislative battleground chambers identified by Ballotpedia in the 2018 elections. Read more below.

New Hampshire state representatives serve two-year terms, with all seats up for election every two years.

The Democratic Party gained control of both chambers of the New Hampshire General Court in the 2018 election. Both chambers of the New Hampshire General Court were identified as battleground chambers and both chambers flipped from having Republican majorities to having Democratic majorities. In the state Senate, all 24 seats were up for election. Democrats gained control of the New Hampshire State Senate by gaining four net seats, from 10-14 to 14-10. One Democratic incumbent and four Republican incumbents were defeated in the general election.

The New Hampshire House of Representatives held elections for all 400 seats. The Democratic Patry gained control of the House of Representatives. Before the election, Democrats held 167 seats, Republicans held 212 seats, independents held two seats, and 19 seats were vacant.

## Margins of victory[edit]

See also: Margin of victory analysis for the 2018 state legislative elections

A margin of victory (MOV) analysis for the 2018 New Hampshire House of Representatives races is presented in this section. MOV represents the percentage of total votes that separated the winner and the second-place finisher. For example, if the winner of a race received 47 percent of the vote and the second-place finisher received 45 percent of the vote, the MOV is 2 percent.

The table below presents the following figures for each party:

* Elections won
* Elections won by less than 10 percentage points
* Elections won without opposition
* Average margin of victory[3]

## 2018 battleground chamber[edit]

See also: State legislative battleground chambers, 2018

Ballotpedia identified the New Hampshire House of Representatives as one of 22 battleground chambers in 2018. These were chambers that we anticipated to be, overall, more competitive than other chambers and had the potential to see significant shifts in party control.

The chamber was selected because it met the following conditions:

* Competitive seats: There were 103 single-member and multi-member districts that could have been competitive in 2018 based on their 2016 results. These 103 districts represent 227 total seats. See the 2018 races to watch here.

* Majority held less than 55 percent of seats: As of October 2018, Republicans controlled 212 of 400 seats, which was less than 55 percent.

* Recent party control switches: This chamber flipped party control four times between 2006 and 2014. It flipped from Republican to Democratic control in 2006, to Republican control in 2010, to Democratic control in 2012, and then back to Republican control in 2014.

Party control: 2006 - 2016

Election Year:  | 2006  | 2008  | 2010  | 2012  | 2014  | 2016
Winning Party: | D | D | R | D | R | R

## Battleground races[edit]

Ballotpedia identified 103 battleground races in the New Hampshire House of Representatives 2018 elections that represented 227 seats. Thirty-five of the seats were in single-member districts and 192 seats were in multi-member districts. Based on analysis of these districts' electoral histories, these races had the potential to be more competitive than other races and could possibly have led to shifts in a chamber's partisan balance.

Single-member districts

Heading into the 2018 elections, the partisan breakdown for the 35 New Hampshire House single-member district Races to Watch was:

18 seats
17 seats

To determine state legislative races to watch for single-member districts in 2018, Ballotpedia looked for races that fit one or more of the four factors listed below:

1. If the incumbent won less than 55 percent of the vote in the most recent election prior to 2018
2. If the presidential candidate opposite of the incumbent's party won the district in the 2016 elections and the incumbent’s margin of victory in the previous election was 10 percentage points or less
3. If the presidential candidate opposite of the incumbent's party won the district in the 2016 elections and the incumbent did not file to run for re-election
4. If the presidential candidate opposite of the incumbent's party won the district in the 2016 elections by 20 points or more

Other factors could also cause a race to be classified as a battleground. For example, Ballotpedia may have considered an election to be a battleground race if an outside group or a national or state party announced that they were targeting a specific seat in order to flip it. We may have also determined a race to be a battleground if it received an unusual amount of media attention. Two additional factors were open seats and districts impacted by redistricting.

In the table below, a bolded name indicates the winner of an election.

Multi-member districts

Heading into the 2018 elections, the partisan breakdown for the 68 New Hampshire House multi-member district Races to Watch was:

17 districts
20 districts
31 districts split between the parties

To determine state legislative races to watch for multi-member districts in 2018, Ballotpedia looked for races that fit one or more of the five factors listed below.

1. If the district was split between the parties (one Democrat and one Republican) in the most recent election prior to 2018
2. If a challenger came within five points of an incumbent of the opposite party in the most recent election prior to 2018
3. If the presidential candidate opposite of the incumbent's party won the district in the 2016 elections and a challenger came within ten points of an incumbent of the opposite party in the most recent election prior to 2018
4. If the presidential candidate opposite of the incumbent's party won the district in the 2016 elections and at least one incumbent did not file to run for re-election
5. If the presidential candidate opposite of an incumbent's party won the district in the 2016 elections by 20 points or more

Other factors could also cause a race to be classified as a battleground. For example, Ballotpedia may have considered an election to be a battleground race if an outside group or a national or state party announced that they were targeting a specific seat in order to flip it. We may have also determined a race to be a battleground if it received an unusual amount of media attention. Two additional factors were open seats and districts impacted by redistricting.

### Trifectas[edit]

A state government trifecta is a term that describes single-party government, when one political party holds the governor's office and has majorities in both chambers of the legislature in a state government. Democrats in New Hampshire held a state government trifecta for four years between 1992 and 2017. During that same period of time, Republicans held a trifecta for eight years.

In elections between the 1990s and 2016, New Hampshire leaned Republican at the state legislative level but leaned Democratic at the statewide and presidential levels. Between 1992 and 2017, Republicans controlled the Senate for 20 years, while Democrats held the chamber for five years. In 2011, Republicans retook the state Senate, after previously holding the chamber from 1992 to 1998 and 2001 to 2006. Similar to the Senate, Republicans held the state House for 20 years between 1992 and 2017. Democrats only held the chamber for six years throughout that same period of time. During the 2006, 2010, and 2014 elections, the state House went through massive partisan swings. Democrats overcame a 98-seat Republican majority in the 2006 elections before Republicans rebounded in the 2010 elections. Republicans overcame a 40-seat majority in 2014 to retake control of the chamber.

Democrats controlled the governor's office for 18 years between 1992 and 2016. Republican Chris Sununu was elected to the office in 2016. Prior to Sununu's election in 2016, Republicans had only held the governor's office for seven years between 1992 and 2016. Sununu's victory made the state a Republican trifecta, meaning Republicans controlled both chambers of the legislature and the governor's mansion.

The term wave election is frequently used to describe an election cycle in which one party makes significant electoral gains. How many seats would Republicans have had to lose for the 2018 midterm election to be considered a wave election?

Ballotpedia examined the results of the 50 election cycles that occurred between 1918 and 2016—spanning from President Woodrow Wilson's (D) second midterm in 1918 to Donald Trump's (R) first presidential election in 2016. We define wave elections as the 20 percent of elections in that period resulting in the greatest seat swings against the president's party.

Applying this definition to state legislative elections, we found that Republicans needed to lose 494 seats for 2018 to qualify as a wave election.

The chart below shows the number of seats the president's party lost in the 10 state legislative waves from 1918 to 2016. Click here to read the full report.

Filing paperwork for most offices is submitted to the New Hampshire Secretary of State. Filing paperwork for state House candidates is submitted to the town or city clerk of the municipality where the candidate resides. Filings must be made between the first Wednesday in June and the Friday of the following week.[15][19]

### For nonparty candidates[edit]

A candidate seeking placement on the general election ballot must file a declaration of intent. The declaration of intent must be filed between the first Wednesday in June and the Friday of the following week.[20][21]

In addition to filing this declaration, the candidate must do one of the following.[15]

Prior to final filing, nomination papers must be submitted for certification to the Supervisors of the Checklist in each town or city where signatures were collected. Nomination papers must be submitted for certification by 5:00 p.m. on the Wednesday five weeks before the primary. Nomination papers are ultimately due to the New Hampshire Secretary of State by 5:00 p.m. on the Wednesday before the primary.[15]

### For write-in candidates[edit]

A write-in candidate does not need to file any special forms in order to have his or her votes tallied. In the event that a write-in candidate wins the nomination of a party at a primary election, he or she is required to file a declaration of candidacy with the New Hampshire Secretary of State no later than the first Monday following the primary election. Also, a write-in candidate must have received at least 35 votes in order to be considered the winner of a primary election.[23]

### Qualifications[edit]

## Competitiveness[edit]

Every year, Ballotpedia uses official candidate lists from each state to examine the competitiveness of every state legislative race in the country. Nationally, there has been a steady decline in electoral competitiveness since 2010. Most notable is that the number of districts with general election competition has dropped by more than 10 percent.

### Results from 2016[edit]

Below is Ballotpedia's 2016 competitiveness analysis. Click here to read the full study »

### Historical context[edit]

See also: Competitiveness in State Legislative Elections: 1972-2014

Uncontested elections: In 2014, 32.8 percent of Americans lived in states with an uncontested state senate election. Similarly, 40.4 percent of Americans lived in states with uncontested house elections. Primary elections were uncontested even more frequently, with 61 percent of people living in states with no contested primaries. Uncontested elections often occur in locations that are so politically one-sided that the result of an election would be a foregone conclusion regardless of whether it was contested or not.

Open seats: In most cases, an incumbent will run for re-election, which decreases the number of open seats available. In 2014, 83 percent of the 6,057 seats up for election saw the incumbent running for re-election. The states that impose term limits on their legislatures typically see a higher percentage of open seats in a given year because a portion of incumbents in each election are forced to leave office. Overall, the number of open seats decreased from 2012 to 2014, dropping from 21.2 percent in 2012 to 17.0 percent in 2014.

Incumbent win rates: Ballotpedia's competitiveness analysis of elections between 1972 and 2014 documented the high propensity for incumbents to win re-election in state legislative elections. In fact, since 1972, the win rate for incumbents had not dropped below 90 percent—with the exception of 1974, when 88 percent of incumbents were re-elected to their seats. Perhaps most importantly, the win rate for incumbents generally increased over time. In 2014, 96.5 percent of incumbents were able to retain their seats. Common convention holds that incumbents are able to leverage their office to maintain their seat. However, the high incumbent win rate may actually be a result of incumbents being more likely to hold seats in districts that are considered safe for their party.

Marginal primaries: Often, competitiveness is measured by examining the rate of elections that have been won by amounts that are considered marginal (5 percent or less). During the 2014 election, 90.1 percent of primary and general election races were won by margins higher than 5 percent. Interestingly, it is usually the case that only one of the two races—primary or general—will be competitive at a time. This means that if a district's general election is competitive, typically one or more of the district's primaries were won by more than 5 percent. The reverse is also true: If a district sees a competitive primary, it is unlikely that the general election for that district will be won by less than 5 percent. Primaries often see very low voter turnout in comparison to general elections. In 2014, there were only 27 million voters for state legislative primaries, but approximately 107 million voters for the state legislative general elections.

## Pivot Counties[edit]

See also: Pivot Counties by state

Three of 10 New Hampshire counties—30 percent—are Pivot Counties. Pivot Counties are counties that voted for Barack Obama (D) in 2008 and 2012 and for Donald Trump (R) in 2016. Altogether, the nation had 206 Pivot Counties, with most being concentrated in upper midwestern and northeastern states.

Counties won by Trump in 2016 and Obama in 2012 and 2008

County  |  Trump margin of victory in 2016  |  Obama margin of victory in 2012  |  Obama margin of victory in 2008
Coos County, New Hampshire | 8.89% | 17.54% | 18.19%
Hillsborough County, New Hampshire | 0.20% | 1.12% | 3.73%
Sullivan County, New Hampshire | 2.58% | 13.27% | 17.93%

In the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton (D) won New Hampshire with 46.8 percent of the vote. Donald Trump (R) received 46.5 percent. In presidential elections between 1789 and 2016, New Hampshire voted Republican 50 percent of the time and Democratic 31 percent of the time. In the five presidential elections between 2000 and 2016, New Hampshire voted Democratic with the exception of the 2000 presidential election.[24]
