With 87 percent of precincts reporting, Trump secured more than 120,000 votes in the Granite State. In 2012, Obama managed just 49,080 total votes in New Hampshire. The gap between the two presidents is likely to increase as more precincts report their totals Wednesday.

In New Hampshire if you are registered as an independent you can vote in either party’s primary. I suspect that a lot of Trump voters voted in the D primary ala Operation Chaos.
