Question about NH Primary
Is it set up like Iowa, or more process driven where you show up and request a specific party ticket to cast your vote on?

1. NH is a Primary, not a Caucus
Peeps in NH show up throughout the day and vote then leave.

2. It's a secret ballot.
Edited on Sat Jan-05-08 07:54 PM by Tesha
Registered Republicans show up and take a Republican ballot.

Registered Democrats show up and take a Democratic ballot.

Undeclared voters ("Closet Republicans") show up, declare
for a party, and take that party's ballot. They vote and
can then immediately re-declare as "undeclared" if they
wish (and most do).

Unregistered voters show up, register and declare if they
wish, and then follow the procedures as described above.

The polls this time around say 60% of the "undeclareds"
will take a Democratic ballot. It's for this reason
(Closet Democrats voting in the Democratic primary,
"helping" us chose our candidate) that NH (and Iowa)
should be stripped of their exagerated power in choosing
the eventual Democratic candidate.
