CONWAY — If you thought the drive-in was a thing of the past, the New Hampshire House of Representatives has news for you — it isn’t. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the House will open its 2021 session in a parking lot at the University of New Hampshire on Jan. 6. The move is not sitting well with many representatives, primarily Democrats, who believe it’s not safe for 400 members to gather at this time and would prefer the meetings take place remotely over the internet via such mediums as Zoom. “It’s so crazy,” said Rep. Mark McConkey (R-Freedom) by phone on Tuesday. “Unfortunately, there is nothing in the rules yet that allows us to meet electronically. We will get together on Jan. 6, organize (elect a new speaker of the House), and then form the rules so we can meet electronically. We’ll probably communicate over radio signals. It sure is a strange time.”
