Polls close at 7:00 PM ET in most of the state. But in 20 some-odd communities, polls will close at 8:00 PM ET. We’ll cover reaction and results as they trickle in, but in a separate post.
We want to hear from you, Dear LI reader. Make your picks in the poll beneath. You can select up to three candidates. Our poll closes when New Hampshire’s polls close — 7:00 PM ET.
Unlike the mob-like caucus set-up in Iowa, New Hampshire has a regular ol’ primary. Voters cast ballots, those ballots are counted, winners are determined, and dreams are shattered.
Up for grabs, 23 Republican delegates and 32 delegates for Democrats.
Watched this earlier this morning; still giggling.

Heh. From the New York Times:
Days after two of Hillary Clinton’s most prominent female surrogates, Madeleine K. Albright and Gloria Steinem, drew fire for their comments about young women supporting Senator Bernie Sanders, another Clinton surrogate proposed that the two women be pulled from campaigning for Mrs. Clinton.On a conference call with elected officials supporting Mrs. Clinton on Tuesday, Deb Goldberg, the Massachusetts state treasurer, suggested that Ms. Albright and Ms. Steinem be “kept away” from Mrs. Clinton’s campaign, according to a person briefed on the call who could only discuss the private conversations without attribution.Christina Reynolds, a spokeswoman for the Clinton campaign who was on the call, replied that she appreciated the feedback but did not elaborate on how the campaign would handle the two high-profile supporters, who in recent days called for young women to basically grow up and support Mrs. Clinton.The dust-up began on Saturday when Ms. Albright, 78, the first female secretary of state, criticized Mr. Sanders’s “revolution” and said electing the first woman as president would be the real revolution. She then repeated one of her best-known phrases, telling the crowd, “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other!”Ms. Steinem, 81, and an iconic spokeswoman of the feminist movement, told the talk-show host Bill Maher that young women supported Mr. Sanders to attract the attention of boys.“When you’re young, you’re thinking: ‘Where are the boys? The boys are with Bernie,” Ms. Steinem said.
He also claims he paved the way for Donald Trump by pioneering, “ridiculousness politics.”
