New Hampshire AG Challenges DNC Over 'Meaningless' Primary Comments

Attorney General John Formella accuses the Democratic National Committee of voter suppression, issuing a cease-and-desist order in response to their comments on the state's primary election.

New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella has issued a cease-and-desist order to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), demanding that they stop calling the state's primary 'meaningless'.
The DNC had previously decided to move South Carolina ahead of New Hampshire in its primary cycle for 2024, which conflicts with a state law mandating New Hampshire hold the first primary election in the country.
As a result of the conflict, the DNC determined that the New Hampshire election would not be recognized for delegate-awarding purposes, leading to the DNC's comments about the state-run primary.
Formella argues that the DNC's remarks constitute an attempt to prevent or deter New Hampshire voters from participating, which he claims violates New Hampshire voter suppression laws.
Despite the DNC's stance, New Hampshire officials are proceeding with their primary as planned, and are expecting a strong voter turnout on January 23rd.
