This year's election is an important one for New Hampshire, as voters will be deciding on a new governor, two House members, and a senator, in addition to the presidential race. The Senate race is especially important: it's considered a battleground race that could go either way, and if Democratic Governor Maggie Hassan, manages to defeat incumbent Republican senator Kelly Ayotte, it could help shift the balance of power in Congress' Republican-controlled upper house.
