Talk:2012 United States presidential election in New Hampshire

Who is on the ballot?
So, with the application process now closed, who is actually going to be on the ballot? -- 77.7.167.132 (talk) 15:21, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Cain?
Is Cain still on the ballot?--74.167.7.205 (talk) 21:02, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Ted Nugent on the Ballot?
Reviewing the source cited on the article for the list of candidates, I could not find Ted Nugent. Additional searches pulled up nothing.

Is this false information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.165.59.249 (talk) 23:45, 4 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure that info about Ted Nugent running was from The Simpsons episode Politically Inept, with Homer Simpson, which came out in early 2012 right before the election. So yeah, info about Ted Nugent running for president that year in real life is most likely false. --JCC the Alternate Historian (talk) 18:45, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Who actually runs the primary?
I would like to see an explanation of how the primary is actually governed and operated. As the article states, the governor effectively sets the date. What does the state do in actually running the election, and what does the party do in actually running the election? I hope people far more knowledgeable than I (which wouldn't be hard!) will dig into this. Poihths (talk) 14:26, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

a single volunteer to enter results?
For Iowa I did some text updates as the results came in but this time there is a big table waiting to be filled in (with both votes and percentages). If everybody takes it upon themselves to update this table throughout the evening there could well be a lot of frustrating edit conflicts. Once someone has taken on this task, I suggest leaving that editor to it, unless they come here to announce that they are stepping out for supper or otherwise handing over the updating to someone else. An update every 20 minutes between 5% of polls reporting and 90% (there tends to be long lags before and after these points such that frequent updating wouldn't be as necessary or informative) would be plenty frequent, I would think.--Brian Dell (talk) 23:39, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Table of candidate results
I don't know how to do it, but once the final tally is reached, the table should be in vote getter order, not alphabetical order. GoodDay (talk) 03:05, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

On a side-note, there's 99% reporting now according to MSNBC.--67.248.246.4 (talk) 17:18, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Information on specifics of the delegate assignment process
I had trouble finding good links that talk about how the delegates are selected. The table on the Article page disagrees with the CNN page, and even disagrees with simple math assuming a simple proportional assignment.

http://www.cnn.com/election/2012/primaries/state/nh has the results as CNN sees them, with delegates:

Which is odd for both because Gingrich has more than 1/12 of the vote. Also, the CNN numbers don't add up to 12 (maybe margin of error?). Can anyone interpret the method by which delegates are apportioned?


 * http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/LXIII/667/667-mrg.htm has the NH code relevant to primaries
 * http://nhgop.org/pages/detail/33 has the New Hampshire Republican party bylaws
 * http://www.gop.com/images/legal/2008_RULES_Adopted.pdf has the Republican Party rules

From what I can tell, it has something to do with the per-county results, but there are 19 counties in NH but only 12 delegates.

 * From memory, it's distributed among candidates with >10%. I'm not sure if that means that Romney's 39% counts as 29, Paul's 23% counts as 13, and Huntsman's 17% counts as 7. 29+13+7=49; 29/49=59%, 13/49=26.5%, & 7/49=14.3%. There's 12 delegates (all by vote) so 7 are Romney's, 3 are Paul's, and 2 are Huntsman's. 2+3+7=12. Gingrich & Santorum finished around 9% while Perry finished around 1%. --67.248.246.4 (talk) 17:27, 11 January 2012 (UTC)


 * In that case, it's quite misleading to write "the state's 12 national delegates will be allocated in proportion to candidates' percent of the popular vote.", maybe that should be changed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.151.197.231 (talk) 21:21, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

municipal map
There was one in 2008. Are there municipal results available yet that could be made into a map?--Metallurgist (talk) 17:13, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Does the Republican Primary Infobox Really Still Need To Be Here?
I'm sorry, but does the infobox for the 2012 Republican New Hampshire Primary really still need to here on this article? Info about it is now has its own article and it feels pointless to still have that info featured here.
