The 2016 United States presidential election in New Hampshire took place place on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 General Election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participate. New Hampshire voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College by a popular vote.
On February 9, 2016, in the presidential primaries, voters expressed their preferences for the Democratic, and Republican, parties' respective nominees for President. Registered members of each party only voted in their party's primary, while voters who were unaffiliated chose any one primary in which to vote.
On November 8, New Hampshire voted for Hillary Clinton by a 0.37% margin, around a 2,700 vote difference.[1] The result was not officially confirmed until six days later.[2] Prior to the election, all 12 news organizations showed this state would be a toss-up. New Hampshire, along with Nevada, Colorado, and Virginia, were the only four toss-ups to vote for Clinton. The county-by-county map was exactly the same as 2000, with Trump and Clinton winning the exact same counties that George W. Bush and Al Gore had won 16 years earlier. Had Donald Trump won the state, he would have been the first Republican to carry the state in 16 years, and in turn, the first Republican to win a state in New England since then.
Primary elections
