    A meaningless win because the DNC is refusing to sanction the primary and is engaging in voter suppression in favor of their own internal power plays.

    As per their letter:

    ● The event on January 23, 2024 cannot be used as the first determining stage of the state’s
    delegate selection process and is considered detrimental.
    ● The NHDP must take steps to educate the public that January 23rd is a non-binding
    presidential preference event and is meaningless and the NHDP and presidential
    candidates should take all steps possible not to participate.
    ● No delegates or alternates shall be apportioned based on the results of the January 23,
    2024 event.
    ● No scheduling of events related to the selection of delegates or alternates in New
    Hampshire may be based on the January 23, 2024 event.
