New Hampshire | Voter Turnout The Big Story

The heavy voter turnout is the big story in New Hampshire. The polls close at 8pm, but there are still long lines outside many polling places, according the WMUR-TV. Many in line are registering for the first time, this election being the first time they’ve ever voted.

I made a trip to a few towns around the Lakes Region after work and checked in with my parents one town over and I’ve heard the same thing from all of them – Very busy and long lines, with the occasional lull now and then.

Some of the exit polls run by WMUR show a close race in both the presidential and gubernatorial races. It is expected that the incumbents in the congressional races will win re-election: Judd Gregg-® for a third term in the US Senate, and Jeb Bradley-® and Charlie Bass-® representing the 1st and 2nd Congressional districts respectively also defeating their opponents.

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
