[edit] Mike Gravel

He's a democratic party candidate and is on the ballot in New Hampshire so update his results in the table as well. 88.112.174.74 (talk) 19:42, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fraud

I read on prison planet that there was a fraud. And Obama actually won. What the fuck. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.167.28.217 (talk) 22:23, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Does anyone know where to get the map and data to make an images like these for the Democrats in New Hampshire? ~ Paul^C/_T+ 08:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

We have data for results by county. Perhaps we could use a picture of New Hampshire counties...--Dem393 (talk) 01:24, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Republicans?

Why are republican candidates listed in the results as this article is about the DEMOCRATIC primary? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Munnp001 (talk • contribs) 00:49, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Munnp001. I have removed all non-Democratic information from the article, including the section about the recount. This article is meant to provide an in-depth view into the Democratic primary. Any information that applies to the entire primary should be in the other article.--Dem393 (talk) 04:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

The recount is specific to the Democrats. It just happens that one of the republican candidates also demanded a recount. Terjen (talk) 06:05, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

The table shows votes cast for Republican candidates which were tabulated in the Democratic primary by the New Hampshire Secretary of State. Similarly the Republican Primary tabulation includes votes cast for Democratic candidates. I don't know why they do this, but they do, and we go with the source.

Write-in votes explain everything. -- Yellowdesk (talk) 13:58, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Failed GA review

1. Prose- Fail. Lead section needs work. Needs help from all of the following areas: Wikipedia:Lead section, Wikipedia:Words to avoid. There are a few spelling and grammar errors.

2. Verifiable-Check, but one of the references in the final needs to have a title.

3. Coverage- Fail. There is little information about the campaigns in New Hampshire. What about the NH debate or campaign? Newspaper endorsements?

4. Neutral- Check

5. Stable- Check

6. Images- Fail. There should be at least one picture of the event. Feel free to renominate the article once these concerns are addressed.User:calbear22 (talk) 03:57, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
