    Polling

    New Hampshire polls (2016)

    Ballotpedia's battleground state polling averages were based on polls that came out over a 20- to 30-day period. For example, an average might have covered all polls that were released for a state between September 1, 2016, and September 30, 2016. They were not weighted. Polling averages were checked and updated daily.

    Electoral votes

    See also: Electoral College

    The president of the United States is not elected by popular vote but rather by electors in the Electoral College. In fact, when Americans vote for president, they are actually voting for a slate of electors selected by members of Democratic and Republican state parties or nominated in some other fashion. Under this system, which is laid out in Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution, each state is allocated one electoral vote for every member of their congressional delegation, meaning one for each member of the U.S. House and one for each of their two Senators.

    New Hampshire electors

    In 2016, New Hampshire had four electoral votes. New Hampshire's share of electoral votes represented 0.7 percent of the 538 electoral votes up for grabs in the general election and 1.5 percent of the 270 votes needed to be elected president. Democratic and Republicans electors in New Hampshire were selected at state party conventions.

    "Faithless electors"

    The U.S. Constitution does not dictate how presidential electors are to cast their votes, but, in general, electors are expected to vote for the winner of the popular vote in their state or the candidates of the party that nominated them to serve as electors. Electors who choose not to vote for the winner of the popular vote or the candidates of the party that nominated them are known as "faithless electors." Faithless electors are rare. Between 1900 and 2012, there were only eight known instances of faithless electors.

    Several states have passed laws against faithless electors and require electors to vote for the winner of the popular vote in their state, for the candidate of the party that nominated them to serve as electors, or in accordance with any pledge they may have been required to make at the time of their nomination. In states with these types of laws, faithless electors can be fined or replaced, or their votes can be nullified.[6][7]

    New Hampshire was one of 20 states in 2016 without a law seeking to bind the votes of presidential electors.

    State campaign staff

    Prior to the November 8, 2016, election, each campaign put in place paid staff, volunteers, and political operatives in each state in efforts to gain votes and influence voter turnout on election day. The following details some of the key staff for each campaign in New Hampshire.

    Hillary Clinton

    For Hillary Clinton's campaign, state operations nationwide were overseen by Marlon Marshall, the campaign's director of state campaigns and political engagement. The key staff in New Hampshire consisted of:

    Hillary for America 2016 Logo.png

    Mike Vlacich, State director: Vlacich was named state director for the primary campaign in March 2015 and for the general election in May 2016. Prior to joining Clinton's campaign, he was campaign manager and senior advisor for U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.).[8] Vlacich also worked closely with former New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch (D) and was the executive director of the Democratic Party of New Hampshire.

    Donald Trump

    For Donald Trump's campaign, state operations nationwide were overseen by Michael Biundo, the campaign's senior political advisor. The key staff in New Hampshire consisted of:

    Matt Ciepielowski, State director: Ciepielowski directed Trump's campaign in the state during the primary elections. Prior to working for Trump, he was the New Hampshire field director for Americans for Prosperity, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization focused on limited government.[9]

    Below is a list of down ballot races in New Hampshire covered by Ballotpedia in 2016.

    New Hampshire Primary

    See also: Trump's New Hampshire triumph and Sanders sweeps New Hampshire

    The 2016 New Hampshire primary marked one hundred years since the state held the first primary on March 4, 1916.[10]

    New Hampshire is the first traditional presidential primary of the cycle. Unlike a caucus, which is run by state party officials with the goal of selecting delegates, a primary is run by the state itself. A primary is also less of a time commitment. Caucuses take hours, but because a primary is really just an election, it's just a matter of going to a polling place and casting your ballot.[11]

    While New Hampshire has a small population—1.3 million, as of December 2015[12]—the state plays a significant role in shaping the presidential race.

    That is partly due to the fact that New Hampshire allows independents—or undeclared voters, as they are known in the state—to vote in either the Republican or Democratic primary. Under primary rules, they register on site to vote in the primary of their choice and then fill out a form to regain their undeclared status. More than 40 percent of the electorate was undeclared in February 2016.[13][14]

    In 2008, New Hampshire voters delivered a victory to John McCain, who became the Republican nominee. "When the pundits declared us finished, I told them, 'I'm going to New Hampshire, where the voters don't let you make their decisions for them,'" McCain said after winning. "'I'm going to New Hampshire, and I'm going to tell people the truth.'"[15]

    Hillary Clinton won the 2008 Democratic primary, after coming in third in the Iowa caucuses, but she did not win the nomination.

    Those independents can play big role in determining, if not the outcome of the both the Republican and Democratic primaries, then the important distances between the top finishers.[16]

    Democrats

    And it was independents that helped give Bernie Sanders 60 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary— a more than 20 point win over Hillary Clinton who won 38 percent of the vote. Sanders won 72 percent of the independent vote, according to exit polling.[17]

    But Sanders' populist message also won significant majorities among young voters, voters concerned with trustworthiness, and voters interested in addressing income inequality. He won 83 percent of voters between the age of 18 and 29 and 66 percent of voters between the age 30 and 44.[18] Nearly six in 10 were most focused on the candidate who’s most honest and trustworthy or “cares about people like me” and backed Sanders overwhelmingly, by 92-6 and 81-18 percent, respectively.[19]

    Sanders won 70 percent of voters who said income inequality was a top priority. He also won 55 percent of women and 66 percent of men.[20]

    ABC News said that Sanders victory was in part due to an aggressive ground game. "While the Clinton camp has not released employee counts, the Sanders campaign eventually deployed 108 paid staffers to New Hampshire. It established 18 field offices to Clinton’s 11, along with another 37 “Get Out the Vote” centers. (Clinton had eight.)"[21]

    After winning the Iowa Democratic caucuses by a historically narrow margin, the Clinton's campaign was eager to put the New Hampshire loss behind them and campaign chairman Robby Mook released a memo looking ahead to future contests she expects to find more success with a more diverse electorate. “After splitting the first two contests, an outcome we’ve long anticipated, attention will inevitably focus on the next two of the ‘early four’ states: Nevada and South Carolina.”[22]

    Mook continued, “Whereas the electorates in Iowa and New Hampshire are largely rural/suburban and predominantly white, the March states better reflect the true diversity of the Democratic Party and the nation.”

    The Clinton campaign had also sought to lower expectations, by making the case that Sanders had an advantage in New Hampshire because he is from the neighboring state of Vermont.[23]

    Sanders led in the polls leading up to the primary and they ended up being relatively reflective of the New Hampshire electorate. A CNN/WBUR poll (released on February 5, 2016) had Sanders]] at 61 percent of the vote compared with Hillary Clinton who was at 31 percent.[24]

    Republicans

    Donald Trump won the Republican primary by carrying a range of demographic and ideological groups with more than 30 percent of the vote. He topped the rest of the field among both men and women, voters under age 64, voters without a college degree, and those who have a college degree but no postgraduate study. [25]

    Trump had the support of 37 percent of men, 32 percent of women, as well as 37 percent of voters between the age of 18 to 29, 35 percent of voters between the age of 30 to 44, and 35 percent of voters between the age of 45 to 64. Among voters without a college degree, Trump won 41 percent, and 29 percent of those who have a college degree, but no postgraduate study.[26]

    John Kasich finished second with 16 percent and was helped by voters who said they were looking for experience rather than a political outsider. Kasich got 28 percent of this group. He also did well among moderates, winning 28 percent behind Trump's 32 percent.

    Ted Cruz finished third with 12 percent. Jeb Bush finished fourth, just ahead of Marco Rubio, though both won 11 percent of the vote. Chris Christie finished with seven percent, Carly Fiorina won four percent and Ben Carson received two percent.

    Polls on the Republican side had Trump leading heading into the primary. Trump led Republicans with 29 percent of the vote, according to a CNN/WBUR poll released February 4, 2016. But Rubio was second in the poll with 18 percent, followed by Cruz with 13 percent and Kasich with 12 percent. Bush had 10 percent, setting up a possible four-man race for second place. Christie and Fiorina each had 4 percent.[27]

    Democratic Party

    Democratic Party Logo.png

    New Hampshire had 32 delegates at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Of this total, 24 were pledged delegates. National party rules stipulated how Democratic delegates in all states were allocated. Pledged delegates were allocated to a candidate in proportion to the votes he or she received in a state's primary or caucus. A candidate was eligible to receive a share of the state's pledged delegates if he or she won at least 15 percent of the votes cast in the primary or caucus. There were three types of pledged Democratic delegates: congressional district delegates, at-large delegates, and party leaders and elected officials (PLEOs). Congressional district delegates were allocated proportionally based on the primary or caucus results in a given district. At-large and PLEO delegates were allocated proportionally based on statewide primary results.[32][33]

    Eight party leaders and elected officials served as unpledged delegates. These delegates were not required to adhere to the results of a state's primary or caucus.[32][34]

    New Hampshire had 23 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, six were district-level delegates (three for each of the state's two congressional districts). District-level delegates were allocated on a proportional basis; each candidate who won at least 10 percent of the statewide vote was entitled to receive a share of New Hampshire's district delegates.[35][36]

    Of the remaining 17 delegates, 14 served at large. At-large delegates were allocated on a proportional basis; each candidate who won at least 10 percent of the statewide vote was entitled to receive a share of the state's at-large delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention.[35][36]
