NH Reports Record Turnout

New Hampshire polling places are reporting record turnout for today's primaries, and the secretary of state’s office is sending more ballots to precincts overrun with voters. There’s no telling yet if predictions of 500,000 primary voters in the state of 1.3 million will pan out, but the Boston Globe reports first-time voters are flocking to have their say.

At one precinct, the “new voters” line far outstripped the “registered” queue. Demand for Democratic ballots was especially high, ABC reports, suggesting independent voters, who can vote in either primary, were trending that way. Some 45% of the Granite State electorate is independent, the New York Times reports. The secretary of state projected 90,000 undeclared voters in the Democratic column, 60,000 in the Republicans'.
