New Hampshire anecdotal epicness:

Just saw a report on fb by a poll worker in NH.
>Huge turnout, over 60% of registered voters...for a primary!
> that particular precinct was Sanders 342, Clinton 104. They didn't say which precinct.

Dems have to vote Dem primary, reps in the Rep primary. Indies can choose one or the other.
>However, 3 Democrats wrote in Trump on the Democratic ballot.
>7 Republicans wrote in Bernie Sanders on the Republican ballot. I doubt these write ins count on the official totals.

Or maybe they didn't realize until they got there they couldn't vote in the other party primary without re registering.
