New Hampshire Bill to Let Each U.S. House District Elect its Own Presidential Elector

Posted on by January 13, 2025

New Hampshire Senator Bill Gannon has introduced SB 11, to let each U.S. House district elect its own presidential elector. Gannon is chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee and has already scheduled a hearing on the bill. Because the bill is perceived to help Republican presidential candidates, and because both houses of the legislature have Republican majorities, the bill is likely to pass.

If it had been law in 2016, Donald Trump would have won one presidential elector from New Hampshire, although there would have been no split electoral slate in 2020 nor 2024. Thanks to Tony Roza for this news. Maine and Nebraska are currently the only states that let each U.S. House district choose its own elector.

  1. If only legal votes were counted Trump would have won New Hampshire outright all three elections.

  3. Fred, and O.D.R., if you were applying for a job that requires analytic skills, would you make statements like that? Such statements persuade no one because they appear driven by emotion, not reality. If you wanted to be a scientist, or a researcher, I think you would try to rise to a more elevated attempt.

  4. another gerrymander machination.

  5. Look at all of the fraud in 2020. Several investigations were done but corrupt Democrats and anti-Trump deep staters refused to prosecute and throw out the illegal ballots.

    There was also fraud in 2024.

    TRUMP *NATIONAL EMERGENCY* COMING – MILITARY ATTACKS ON USA CIVILIANS ???

    BRIT MILITARY ATTACKS ON MASS CIVILIANS – RESPONSE – LEAD BULLETS FROM CIVILIANS AND MASS MILITIA [MINUTE MEN] = DEAD BRIT MILITARY

    BATTLES OF LEXINGTON AND CONCORD – LATER USA GEN G. WASHINGTON AT SIEGE OF BOSTON AND ITS LATER LIBERATION AND LATER USA-FRANCE VICTORY AT YORKTOWN VA 19 OCT 1781 — 6.5 YEARS AFTER SUCH DAY 1.

    ONE RESULT – 2 AMDT IN USA CONST AND SAME IN MANY EARLY STATE CONSTS.

  7. Richard Winger openly supports fraudulent votes. He’s said so many times all votes should count no matter what.

  10. I am in fact a professional researcher. Why wouldn’t I make true statements which are in fact based on both research and reality?

  16. If we didn’t have a one corpse per ticket policy we’d definitely consider running both as a team. One could be on top in half the states and the other one in the other half or something.

  29. Single presidential elector districts should also include the two that every state currently has “at large” for those allotted for US Senators. So New Hampshire, like West Virginia, should have four distinct PE districts. As I’ve mentioned previously, this is easy to do with states that currently have two US Representatives (HI, ID, ME, MO, NH, RI, WV) by simply dividing them in half. I’m sure there will be plenty of groans, debate, and controversy surrounding the gerrymandering of doing this for the other states.

    The next logical step is to have the Presidential Elector candidates themselves running in their respective individual PE districts instead of having the party nominees as placeholders for them. This is as the Framers intended whereby the eventual US President wouldn’t have been doing any campaigning or making promises and wouldn’t owe favors to anyone.
