South Carolina still has a fairly weak executive bu US standards, tho it's much stronger than it once was.  Still, the desire to keep the executive weak is one reason we have nine different statewide elected executive offices, including the only remaining elected adjutant general in the nation.

in Wisconsin you become governor not by election but by proving that you can balance a larger block of cheddar on your head than anyone else can; this is why we call them cheeseheads

It would stink to use that system in Limburg.

What's really weird about New Hampshire is the way it apportions its 400 member lower house.  They don't subdivide precincts, instead using not only multimember districts as needed, but also overlapping ones to secure equal representation.  For instance:  The town of Laconia elects four House members in the 3rd Belknap County district, The town of Belmont elects two members in the 6th district and the two towns jointly elect one member in the 9th district.  I suppose it works, but it definitely is weird.
