Trump Campaign Claims NH Primary Is Rigged Before Polls Even Close, Says There Was a ‘Concerted Effort to Have Democrat Voters Infiltrate’ It

Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt cried foul on New Hampshire voting Tuesday night before the polls even closed, claiming the Republican primary was infiltrated by Democrats.

“Nikki Haley is an open border globalist, who is bought and paid for not just by the Republican establishment, but also by Democrat donors that are fueling her campaign,” Leavitt said. “Her campaign is run by Democrat staffers here on the ground here in New Hampshire. They have made a very vocal and concerted effort to have Democrat voters infiltrate today’s primary.”

Democrat voters did not infiltrate the primary. Despite the Trump campaign’s claims, USA TODAY reported:

Anna Sventek, a spokesperson for the New Hampshire Secretary of State, told USA TODAY that registered Democrats can only vote in the Democratic primary election, and Republicans can only vote in the Republican primary. Undeclared voters can choose to vote in either, but they must select a Democratic or Republican ballot when they go to vote, according to the Secretary of State’s website.

Voters in the state had until Oct. 6 to change party affiliation.

Leavitt told Fox News host Laura Ingraham, “We are 100% confident that President Trump will have a big victory here in New Hampshire tonight just as he did in the great state of Iowa. Don’t forget, Laura, this is the first state in the union that propelled President Trump to his historic defeat over Hillary Clinton in 2016. The voters here have a long and deep connection with President Trump, and our campaign is fueled not by Democrat operatives and donors but by grassroots patriots across New Hampshire and across this country who believe in President Trump, love this country, love this state, and want to make America great again.”
