We asked, you answered: Should New Hampshire keep its first-in-the-nation primary status?

New Hampshire has earned its reputation as the first-in-the-nation primary state thanks to a mix of law and tradition. State law requires that its presidential primary be held at least seven days before any other primary or caucus, ensuring candidates face voters here before anywhere else. That early timing gives the state an outsized influence—candidates spend weeks on the ground meeting voters, testing messages, and building momentum. This week, we asked readers: Should New Hampshire keep its first-in-the-nation primary status?
