Sununu wins reelection in New Hampshire governor race

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) won re-election on Tuesday.

The Republican incumbent beat Democratic challenger and former state senator Molly Kelly for a second term. Sununu, who was the state’s youngest governor when he was elected to his first term in 2016, was unopposed in the Republican primary election.  

His first term, however was not without controversy. Sununu came under fire in July when he signed a controversial voter registration law that requires people to prove they really lived where they vote, according to New Hampshire Public Radio.

The state Supreme Court allowed the new law to remain in place throughout the election despite opposition from Democrats and civil rights groups, according to multiple media reports.
