Last night, Donald Trump won the United States presidential election against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. The New Hampshire senate race between Democratic candidate and current governor Maggie Hassan and Republican candidate Kelly Ayotte was too close to call by press time. Clinton received 6,561 votes from voters in Hanover to get 84.9 percent, while Trump received 926 at 12 percent. Besides the presidential and senate election, several Dartmouth alumni ran for positions further down the ballot. Two Dartmouth alumni engaged in close races here in New Hampshire. U.S. Rep.

John Carney ’78 won his bid to become the next Governor of that state, defeating Republican opponent Colin Bonini. The incumbent governor, Jack Markell, is leaving office after reaching his term limit. Incumbent U.S. Rep. Mike Capuano ’73 won reelection in Massachusetts, having faced no opponents in the 7th congressional district. In West Virginia’s 2nd congressional district, Republican incumbent U.S. Rep.

New Hampshire leads voter power By ALEXANDER AGADJANIAN threshold according to The Dartmouth Staff
Drawn from FiveThirtyEight, the voter power index generally reflects the importance of voters in a state when deciding the winner of the Electoral College. Specifically, it’s calculated by dividing a state’s tippingchance probability — the chance a state puts the winning candidate above the electoral vote
FiveThirtyEight’s model simulations — by the expected share of the national turnout a state will have. According to FiveThirtyEight’s updates during election night, New Hampshire had the third highest voter power index at 4.3 in a range from 0 to 4.8. New Mexico ranked first with 4.8 and Nevada was second with 4.5.
