In an interview with the Pierce Media Group in Rindge, New Hampshire, New Hampshire's Secretary of State Bill Gardner gave a message to those states trying to get ahead of New Hampshire in the primary schedule; "Back Off."
One of Gardners reasons, "It’s a very unique political culture that exists here.”
It appears that the primary will be held no later than the 8th of January. In 1999 New legislation gave additional flexibility to the Secretary of State to move the NH Presidential Primary date “seven days or more” ahead of any other state holding a “similar election.”
"The people of this state participate in levels that are unprecedented across the country," said Gardner. “Everyone wants to have something like we have in New Hampshire; we are sort of the victim of our own success.”
“New Hampshire’s been part of most of the most significant events that have occurred in this country of political nature, governmental structure nature; New Hampshire played a huge roll.” In the last mid term election in the granite state, the state went from a red state to a blue state.
When asked about the financial impact, Gardner said, “Its not about the money, It was never about the money, it’s not about the money now, its simply about the people in this state, the grassroots to have a say in this process”
