Hmm, this seems to throw a curve ball at the NH Democrats that say that voting is too hard for New Hampshire voters so we should change our ways and be like all the others with early voting (how’d that work out for those voting for candidates that dropped out but were still on the ballot), no fault absentee ballots (ballot harvesting like in CA, anyone?) and all the rest. Eh, NH Senator Melanie Levesque (who is touting all those plus more “changes”)?

It seems that NH does very fine all by itself and our voting turnout is very fine just the way it is, thank you very much. Emphasis mine:

DURHAM, NH – The vast majority of voters in New Hampshire’s “First in the Nation” primary found it easy to vote; more than ninety percent of primary participants said it was very or somewhat easy to vote while only one in twenty said it was somewhat or very difficult to do so. More than four in five primary voters were very confident their vote was accurately counted while nearly all of the rest were somewhat confident. When asked about a month before the election, likely voters had been slightly more pessimistic about their perceived ease of voting in the primary and their confidence that their vote would be accurately counted.

The pre-primary findings were based on the CNN 2020 New Hampshire Primary Poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. One thousand and one hundred seventy-six (1,176) randomly selected New Hampshire adults were interviewed in English by landline and cellular telephone between January 15 and January 23, 2020. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 2.9 percent. Included in the sample were 910 likely 2020 New Hampshire Primary voters (MSE +/- 3.2%).

The post-primary findings were based on the Granite State Poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. Six hundred eleven (611) randomly selected New Hampshire adults were interviewed in English by landline and cellular telephone between February 19 and February 25, 2020. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 4.0 percent. Included in the sample were 426 reported 2020 New Hampshire Primary voters (MSE +/- 4.7%).
