New Hampshire is hosting the first presidential primary of 2020, where voters will decide how many delegates to award each of the contenders competing for the Democratic Party’s nomination. Polls close in most of the state at 7 PM ET, with final polls closing in the rest of New Hampshire at 8 PM ET.
We’ll be liveblogging this contest below. While the results come in, you can check out our guide to the primary.
Results: Statewide (w/map) | By county
Wednesday, Feb 12, 2020 · 12:09:05 AM +00:00 · David NirWelcome to the first normal (we hope!) presidential primary liveblog of 2020! While polls have already closed in much of New Hampshire, a good portion of the state will remain open for another hour. Four years ago, we got a trickle of results just before 8 PM ET, but don’t expect much until later in the evening. (The miniscule numbers you see already are from the trio of municipalities that vote at midnight on primary day.)
Also note that while media outlets may call a winner early, the order of finish for all the candidates matters a great deal because the primaries aren’t (just) about racking up press-friendly “victories”: They’re about collecting enough delegates to secure the nomination at the national convention in July. Keep that in mind when you see the final tallies, because there’s a good chance the number of delegates separating the various contenders will be quite small, especially compared to the 1,990 needed for a majority.
