IMO SB-2 works best in towns with fast growing populations......in smaller towns, not so much.

Your the one who said it you back it up. I don't believe that. But this is interesting and the time frame is right. Link

New residents from Massachusetts change New Hampshire political landscape


By Dave Michaels, The Dallas Morning News

MANCHESTER, N.H. - New Hampshire, once among the reddest states in the country, has undergone an elephantine demographic shift since its last hotly contested presidential primary, with an influx of new voters that could turn the outcome of both races Tuesday.


The Granite State gained 207,000 new residents between 2001 and 2005 - including about 90,000 who moved over the border from Massachusetts, according to a recent report by the University of New Hampshire's Carsey Institute. During the same period, 188,000 people left the state.
