To: who knows what evil?

Ha ha, no effect on our primary.

The Republican and Democrat Primary ballots in NH are separated. Any votes a GOP candidate gets from a Democrat in a Democratic primary do NOT count towards the GOP primary total.

Example: Larry Liberal, registered Democrat, votes for Mitt Romney in the NH Democratic primary. This vote does NOT count towards the GOP primary totals. It IS counted, however, in determining who wins the NH Democratic Primary.

This is actually quite commmon. In 2008, Romney, McCain, Rudy, and Even Huckabee received votes for the Democratic Nomination in NH, and likewise, Hillary and Obama received votes for the Republican nomination. Because they are separate contests, the votes ARE separated.
