Political stalwarts in New Hampshire expressed confidence that Monday’s Iowa caucus debacle would not repeat itself here next Tuesday, when the world focuses on the the first-in-the-nation presidential primary.
The state’s top election official stressed that no apps are used to count or tabulate votes in the Granite State, unlike in Iowa, where a cellphone app frustrated efforts to quickly produce outcomes of some 1,600 caucuses.
The New Hampshire primary differs from Iowa caucuses in many regards, said Secretary of State Bill Gardner:
New Hampshire’s primary is an election run by municipal officials, as opposed to the political parties that run the Iowa caucuses.
