Good point, other than the fact that it's irrelevant. NH does not make laws by a popular vote. We have a legislature for that. We carefully (hopefully) elect them and pay them (poorly) to make decisions like this. Our founding fathers were very careful when the government was formed. They knew that popular does not always = good and tried to make sure that the Senate would consist of only the wisest and most experienced folks who would not be easily swayed by public opinion. This key point is often misunderstood and folks tend to put Representatives and Senators in the same class.
