The first town to vote in the first-in-the-nation primary went to former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley, but she wasn't able to win the state of New Hampshire.
Haley got all six votes in Dixville Notch; this came after its five residents (at the time) voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
The Massachusetts State Ballot Law Commission has dismissed a legal challenge seeking to keep Donald Trump from appearing on the state's presidential primary ballot in March.
The commission said in a nine-page decision Monday that it lacks jurisdiction to toss Trump, because his name will appear on the ballot "as a result of the Republican State Committee's submission of his name to the Secretary of the Commonwealth," and not through nomination papers over which the commission has jurisdiction.
