New Hampshire is given a partisan lean of R+33. For comparison, NH-1 is R+4 and NH-2 is D+1. If NH were actually 33 points more Republican than the nation, their state legislative election results would have had to have been 138 points more Republican (which is nonsensical).

The only thing that makes sense to me is that it's a typo, instead of being R+3, they typed R+33.

That's probably it. It'd be nice is they gave us the state legislative elections data they have so it'd be easier to verify.

Sorry about that, it was indeed a typo. It should be R+2. That's now fixed
