NOTABLE QUOTE OF THE DAY ([link removed])
“A basic rule of presidential primaries is that the more quickly the field winnows, the sooner the eventual winner can reach the majority of delegates necessary to win the nomination.
We’ve seen a version of this before.
In 2016, a charismatic New Yorker with a devoted following nearly won the Iowa caucuses and won New Hampshire. A divided field kept voters from uniting around a single alternative. And his rivals remained in the race well into the spring.
His name? Donald J. Trump.”
– Lisa Lerer, _The New York Times_

** NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY
------------------------------------------------------------
BERNIE SANDERS ([link removed]) won the Democratic presidential primary in New Hampshire ([link removed]) on Tuesday night. With 97% of precincts reporting, Sanders received 25.9% of the vote, followed by PETE BUTTIGIEG ([link removed]) with 24.4% and Amy Klobuchar ([link removed]) with 19.8%. No other candidate received more than 10% of the vote.
Since Democratic candidates must receive more than 15% of the vote to be considered viable, only the three top finishers will be allocated pledged delegates to the Democratic National Convention. Sanders and Buttigieg are projected to receive nine delegates each. Klobuchar is projected to receive six.
Democratic voter turnout surpassed 2016 election levels by roughly 30,000 and was slightly trailing the 2008 election by 5,000 with 3% of precincts still out.
DONALD TRUMP ([link removed]) won the Republican primary with 85.7% support. He is projected to earn at least 20 of the state’s 22 delegates. BILL WELD ([link removed]) came in second with 9.1% of the vote.
