Lots of Taxachusetts leftists escaping the socialist cesspool they created have really ruined the traditional libertarian/independent streak of New Hampshire. It's still libertarian by New England standards though.

Like Vermont, Maine is socially libertarian but absolutely terrible in terms of economic freedom.

Um, tax-evading Massachusetts losers pushed New Hampshire far to the right in the 1980s. As would be expected by anyone with a modicum of political knowledge.
Whether your dubious commentary on the 1980s is true or not is irrelevant.

What is relevant is that, since 2000, there has been a study exodus of Massachusetts residents into New Hampshire, many fleeing from the former's high taxes and lousy leadership. Despite their original reasons for leaving, they've continued to vote Democratic and as a result the state has become more and more like its one-party socialist state neighbors.

An article on this phenomenon from just a few months ago:

Invading New Hampshire
How the Bay State transformed its northern neighbor.

"Leftists" moving to New Hampshire are heavily outnumbered by Republicans, twat.

No proof of this claim has been demonstrated. Presumably anecdotal claims from a New Hampshire Democrat are not particularly convincing. Talk to New Hampshire Republicans or conservative/libertarian independents (and I have) and they'll say just the opposite, that its the "Massholes" that are ruining their state.

Of course there are Republicans and independents among the migrants, but there is no reason to believe that they "heavily outnumber" Democrats.

The Boston Globe Magazine article I posted was neither the first nor the only source to at least partially attribute NH's leftward trend to migration from other states. To simply claim it is "wrong" is wrong.
