We take an election-day look at one of the most tumultous periods in New Hampshire's election history. The sudden death of Republican Senator Styles Bridges in November 1961 unleashed an unprecedented and dramatic power struggle over the 1962 election. Many of the leading GOP personalities and political families in the state's history were caught in the fray. Host John Walters talks with history professor Stuart Wallace from the New Hampshire Technical Institute in Concord about that year's extraordinary and unique election season.
