    In case you wondering, I figure New Hampshire is the "tough" one. Though if you remember that all the colonies touch the Atlantic - even NH's 18.7 miles of it (the shortest coast line of any state).

    California and New York are incorrect.

    No to Pennsylvania.
    Hint: It doesn’t make sense.

    I feel like it’s in the Northeast for some silly reason. New Hampshire?

    Georgia has the second-most counties of any state, and there was probably some gerrymandering done way back when to give the rural counties some extra representation, so I'll say Georgia.

    Correct. There are 400 members of the NH House of Reps. Five times the membership in the California lower assembly.

    Also a good guess. But it's New Hampshire. Totally random.

    Christ. Is there anyone in New Hampshire who hasn't served in its lower house?
