Sanders wins voter count, but ties delegates with Buttigieg

Bernie Sanders won first place in the New Hampshire primary and while many are reporting that it’s the first clear victory, it’s only because of the chaos that ensued in Iowa. Bernie won by approximately 1% of the vote in the state and both he and Pete Buttigieg picked up 9 new delegates rendering a tie terms of heading towards the party convention. In Carroll County, Buttigieg actually beat Sanders by 2% with Amy Klobuchar less than a hundred votes behind the Vermont Senator. Coos county was a different story with Sanders taking a wide 9% lead over Buttgieg, who still finished second. Klobuchar came in third again but with a wider difference. The results put Klobuchar about even with Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden in terms of the delegate count. All three with half the totals of Sanders and Buttigieg.

Bernie Sanders
76,324 votes
9 delegates

Pete Buttigieg
72,457 votes
9 delegates

Amy Klobuchar
58,796 votes
6 delegates

The rest of the democratic field did not earn enough votes to secure any delegates. Here’s News Director Tony Zore breaking down the delegate system for Magic 104’s Gino Devaney:

Magazine Limit Bill

A public hearing is set for a bill that would ban standard capacity magazines in the state of New Hampshire. House Bill 1608 is set to have a public hearing before the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee this Wednesday at 1:30pm. The bill would prohibit magazines that would hold more than 15 rounds of ammunition in a handgun and magazines that would hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition inside a rifle. The law is worded to not apply to agents of the government. Magazine capacities for firearms vary depending on the make and model but the average standard magazine sold with a semi-automatic rifle often holds 30 rounds. Competition magazines for such firearms often hold 40 rounds. Full size handguns such as the Glock 17 or Sig P320 often hold 17 rounds for their standard out of the box magazine. Special lower-capacity magazines have been developed for such firearms that are sold in states with similar bans.
