Can someone edit this state template, so that it matches the templates for the other 49 states? Namely: the other state templates have the senators and representatives numbered, in numerical order, from #1 to (whatever). For some reason, this is the only state template that does not contain the numbering. I'd fix it, but I don't know how to do so. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 16:58, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Here's my guess at why this is the case: You'll notice that the representatives do in fact have numbers for their districts; they are listed after the name, by county. That is, in fact, how the districts are identified in New Hampshire (and in Vermont). Putting a number before the name would not reflect the actual number of the district. --Ken Gallager (talk) 19:20, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Ken Gallager: Thanks. But, I am not referring to the number of the district. I am simply referring to the number of representatives. In this case, the list would go from #1 to #400. That is simply a "count" of the representatives. That number (the count) has nothing to do with the representative's district. For example, see the template for the state of Maine, located here:
. That is an example of what I am referring to. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 20:20, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Thank you - that answers my concerns. --Ken Gallager (talk) 13:46, 2 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Now, I am beginning to wonder if the preceding number (before the politician's name) is simply an ordinal "count" ... or if it represents a district number. In some states, the two numbers would coincide; in some states, not. Does anyone know for sure? Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:28, 2 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
See this page: List of U.S. state legislators. For example, look at Minnesota's House of Representatives and Maryland's House of Representatives. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:33, 2 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
