The Democratic National Committee ruled that the New Hampshire election effectively won’t count and the winner won’t amass New Hampshire’s 23 delegates in the march to the party’s nomination.

Some New Hampshire Democrats are definitely upset.

In 2020, Biden finished a disappointing fifth in a crowded Democratic primary that saw some 300,000 votes cast. State officials expect less than 100,000 votes this year.

    So the national party committee wants the NH primary to be scheduled later, which is in conflict with the state law, am I understanding that correctly?

    Because of the above the national committee is stating they won’t consider their voting results and because of this the NH primary effectively doesn’t matter?

    If that’s the case then that is some bullshit.

      Yeah, that’s it in a nutshell, it’s another states rights vs national primacy debate, it’s just the DNC instead of the federal government this time.
