New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu said Thursday that he would reject the congressional map passed by his own party in the state legislature, which aggressively targeted Democrat Chris Pappas by making his district more Republican.
Sununu was critical of an earlier draft of the map, and after no notable changes were made in the legislature, he announced Thursday that he'd veto it.
"The proposed Congressional redistricting map is not in the best interest of New Hampshire and I will veto it as soon as it reaches my desk. The citizens of this state are counting on us to do better," he said in a statement.
Washington — The Supreme Court on Friday said it will consider the constitutionality of the Federal Communications Commission's Universal Service Fund, agreeing to review a lower court decision that upended the mechanism for funding programs that provide communications services to rural areas, low-income communities and schools, libraries and hospitals.
