New Hampshire's 400-member House of Representatives is notoriously difficult to map, with its infamously convoluted system of multi-member districts coupled with a separate class of floterial seats. This is my attempt at remedying that. (A long-belated #NHPolitics thread)

Back in the day, Lyndon Johnson allegedly tried to spread a rumor an opponent had carnal knowledge with a pig. His aide said “Christ, Lyndon," said the aide, "we can't just call the guy a pig-f**ker. It isn't true.” Johnson says “but I want to make the son-of-a-bitch deny it.”
