The Republican-led New Hampshire state Legislature passed a new congressional map on Thursday over the objections of the GOP governor as the state scrambles to apportion its federal districts.
Republican Gov. Chris Sununu dashed hopes that the Legislature's map, which would have likely cemented a 1-1 partisan split between Republicans and Democrats for the state's two congressional districts, would become law, quickly pledging to veto the bill on the grounds that it was too partisan."The proposed congressional redistricting map is not in the best interest of New Hampshire, and I will veto it as soon as it reaches my desk.

But Sununu maintained that Republicans can win both seats if the party leaves them competitive and contended that congressional lines should reflect the fact that New Hampshire is a competitive state.
