Turnout


Forget who won the New Hampshire Democrat primary (Bernie). The more important result is what were the GOP versus Democrat turnouts. President Trump had only token opposition in his primary, yet his voters turned out in greater numbers than for all the Dems (almost +15%) ... see: Red State Analysis for more detailed breakouts.

George: The article you quoted was from February 2016. The real numbers for turnout were Democrats 283,000. Republicans 141,00 of which Trump only got 125,000. I think you need to have your bullshit calculator recalculated.

You are right. I neglected to see the date on the article I quoted. My bad. But .Trump got many more votes than any Dem ... and still twice the vote as the incumbent Obama got in N.H. in 2012 ... see: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/02/11/donald-trump-beats-obama-turnout-nh-primary/

I think the GOP has a good shot at running the N.H. table in Nov.
