There were lots of transplants to NH. But most of them were Republicans who fleed in the 70's and 80's from high taxes in MA. Hence the Southern Counties are the most Republican and are considered part of Boston's metorpoilitan area. Looking at Northern New Hampshire there are similarities to certain areas of Vermont and Maine. Its New Hampshire that is different then the other two. While the GOP began its complete decline in all three in the late 60's, it rebounded in the NH in 80's while VT and ME continued to fall away.
I beleive also that most of the hippie transplants located in the Burlington area. The trend towards the Democratic party has occured pretty uniform acrossed the state.
