Conservative Wordsmith Susan Baldwin writes: The New Hampshire presidential primary had a huge voter turnout inside some of the polls at 6:00 AM this morning, within minutes after the polls opened, according to Manchester, New Hampshire-based UnionLeader.com.
MANCHESTER – "Long lines of people formed inside some polls this morning minutes after they opened at 6 a.m. for the New Hampshire presidential primary."
"Louise Gosselin, Ward 6 moderator, said election officials expected about 150 people to vote each hour at St. Pius X on Candia Road.
Instead, about 300 people each hour were casting ballots. By 8 a.m., 602 people had voted. About 70 new voters were registered.
"I believe if it continues this way we definitely will set a record," said Gosselin."
"Journalists and cameramen surrounded Rudy Giuliani, the first candidate to arrive, followed by Mike Huckabee, Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney. It was their final attempt to sway voters their way."
"There were so many news people that voters had difficulty getting by them to enter the poll."
"Sheehan-Lord also asked Giuliani to move as well. "'He was very gracious when we asked him to move,' she said."
"Voters were lined up when the poll opened, said election volunteer Roger Sevigny, the state's insurance commissioner."
"'It's been very busy and it's only 6:20 a.m.,' he said."
"Inside, somewhat patient voters waited in a long line to cast their ballots. One man grumbled about the media being allowed inside."
