BEDFORD â The meetings Wednesday and Thursday of the 400-member House of Representatives are the most divided Republicans and Democrats have been â at least in recent memory â after a federal court ruled that House Speaker Sherman Packard doesnât have to offer a remote option for those with disabilities to participate.
The two parties will even have separate entrances to the NH Sportsplex in Bedford, where the sessions are being held to keep them as far apart as possible. And especially to keep the Democrats as far away from 90-plus seats set aside for the Republicans who won t wear a face mask or say they canât for health reasons.
