Why New Hampshire Primaries Distort National Voter Choice
Myriam Marquez argues that New Hampshire’s early primary skews national perception by allowing independent voters to select major party candidates, misrepresenting the nation’s diversity and political leanings. The piece cites 1996 results with Buchanan’s upset and notes independents’ preference for antiestablishment figures, while acknowledging fears of biased, uneven rules across states.
