Episode 32767: Open Democracy Minute for September 27, 2021 - 7 more redistricting hearings scheduled in NH Counties

You're listening to the Open Democracy Minute, keeping Granite State government by and for the people. Two down, seven more to go. With the Merrimack & Strafford county hearings complete, there was not, unsurprisingly, a single person who testified that gerrymandering New Hampshire's voting districts was a good idea. Instead, voters talked about how their town was districted with a town with which they had nothing in common, or that they were denied their own dedicated House district in violation of the NH Constitution. If you have something to say about how your town, county or state should be redistricted, more public listening sessions will be held in the coming weeks:  This week, on Sep 28 2021 6:00PM – in the Grafton County Superior Court, North Haverhill Sep 30 6:00PM – at the NH Institute of Politics Auditorium at St. Aselm's college Oct 5 6:00PM – in the Rockingham County Superior Courthouse in Brentwood Oct 7, 6:00PM – in the Coos County Superior Court, Lancaster Oct 12 6:00PM -in the Cheshire County Hall, Keene Oct 13 6:00PM -Claremont Savings Bank Community Center- Claremont, Oct 14 6:00PM - Kennett High School, North Conway So far, no session for Belknap county has been scheduled.
