As the presidential race heats up toward Election Day, New Hampshire is one of the battleground states in the nation that could help determine Electoral College victory for one of the candidates.Because of New Hampshire's independent nature, the state is typically considered a swing state in each presidential election. It has voted for Republicans and Democrats in the past, though over the past seven election cycles, it has voted for the Democratic candidate six times. In 2000, George W. Bush was able to claim New Hampshire's four electoral votes over Democratic nominee Al Gore. While the majority of the attention went to Florida during the days after Election Day in 2000, it's worth noting that if Gore had won New Hampshire, he would have hit the 270 electoral vote threshold needed to win the election. Since then, New Hampshire has sided with the Democratic nominee, but 2016 was a close race. Hillary Clinton won New Hampshire by 0.4% over Donald Trump. President Donald Trump is hoping he can build off of his competitive race in the Granite State to flip the state in his favor, while former Vice President Joe Biden wants to continue the streak of success Democratic presidential nominees have in New Hampshire.
