New Hampshire runs its “first in the nation” primary race tonight, and recent polls suggest it’s going to get interesting. Donald Trump has led the state’s polling by double digits for months, but the race for runner-up and a share of the state’s 23 delegates is tight. Meanwhile, for the Democrats, by a wide margin, but a close enough finish could count as a Clinton victory, as she controls the next two states and the national lead.
Starting at 8 a.m. Eastern, Granite State voters will start heading for polling precincts and vote for their preferred Democratic or Republican candidate, although voters in Dixville Notchalready did so, with Kasic and Sanders coming out on top. The rest of the polls will close at b7 p.m., after which a calculation process that could go into the early morning takes place.
