Secretary of State David Scanlan acknowledged why the Democratic National Committee and President Joe Biden Jr. snubbed the state’s First-in-the-Nation Presidential Primary: the belief that New Hampshire does not have a diverse enough population to be representative of the rest of the country. He said, “New Hampshire has to do a better job of educating the country on why it is important that New Hampshire hold this early position, and it has nothing to do with racial diversity, which is important, and I certainly don’t deny that all ethnic groups should be able to participate early in this process.” What makes the state’s primary important, he said, is that it allows candidates without large amounts of money or name recognition to establish themselves.
