bill gardner was a democrat, originally. but he was elected by republicans when he first ran in 1976. so, he has really held it as a kind of nonpartisan position there. they were able to keep politics out of that process. partisan politics, rather. mr. gardner was silly talk about all of the politics that goes on in the setting of the day, but try to keep partisan politics out of it. have republicans and immigrants working together to protect new hampshire's number one in the nation status. 1976, bill gardner is elected secretary of state. he is still secretary of state 35 years later. he is the longest-serving secretary of state in the nation right now. we can ask them about this on thursday. he may be the longest-serving secretary of state in u.s. history. he is really close to that. he takes this job very seriously and really protect the primary. that does not stop other states from saying, we want to hone in on new hampshire's first in the nation status. 1977, we respond to some other challenges. we make a change in the

forcing bill gardner to stretch the primary date before christmas. ultimately it led to a boycott in nevada as john huntsman was the first to ignore that state. >> if you boycott nevada for their insane attempt to leapfrogging the primary process, which is bad for american democracy, bad for the candidate who are trying to make some sense out of the pathway forward, you ought to boycott it. >> nervous wasn't the first state to try to buck new hampshire and only the last. delaware tried to do it twice. >> new hampshire for 70 years has taken pride in the fact that they have been the nation's first primary. delaware want to play a leading role in the process. >> again, it was a difference which 1996 included sitting president bill clinton. it was a political reporter that passed a note to governor steve telling them that delaware had lost. he predicted that candidates, and phil graham will pay to join the boycott to defend the new hampshire primary. >> those who tried to change the primary date or primary process for their own personal reasons will not

secretary of state bill gardner has the exclusive power to set the state's primary date and he's been successfully defending his state's right to go first since 1976. no one knows the ins and outs of new hampshire elections like gardner and this year he's protecting record turnout. secretary of state gardner, welcome, sir. >> thanks. >> good to see you. you left me some fun little nuggets. i'm telling you, kornacki and i will have a lot of fun with this later. and we'll talk about this, what have we got, seven townships on the republican side have gotten it right every year since 52, and six on the democratic side. we will make people know those townships by heart by tomorrow. but let me start with turnout. i'm hearing 600,000 total. what do you say to that? >> possibly. >> that would be a 70% turnout, wouldn't it? >> yeah, that -- that's -- that would be incredible. and it's -- i expect it's going to be a record turnout. i'm not expecting it that much. >> you assume more republicans than democrats or -- >> a little more. >> what are you seeing? upticks in voter -- how do you make det

bill gardner/secretary of state: i expect that the turnout in this presidential primary will break a record of the number of votes cast that there will be more voters casting ballots than in any of other presidential primary before. gardner went on primary and thought he would never see anything like that for some time again. but he's confident more voters will show up come tuesday. jenna:the 9 remaining gop candidates will take the stage in new hampshire tomorrow night. you can tune in right here on abc9 news at seven o'clock. the debate will be moderated by abc's david muir and martha raddatz. tim: iowa's democratic party says it's continuing to look at reported irregularities in monday's caucus tallies. the race between bernie sanders and hillary clinton was decided by 2 tenths of a percenge point. the democratic party of iowa lists the results as final with clinton winning. an i-d-p spokesperson says they are addressing concerns.

. >> bill gardner is new hampshire's longtime serving secretary of state. he's overseen the implementation of the law since 2012 and expects few problems for the first time it's being used in the primary. he says the number of voters without photo i.d. has so far been less than one hatch of a percent. he wants to make sure no one without an i.d. would be turned away and could still cast their ballot. >> i don't have any reason to believe that there's rampant voter fraud. we have the records that it happened. it's pretty difficult. it's not impossible but we've made it very, very difficult to successfully be able to commit fraud. >> and local clerks like harry parker say they're ready for any cheaters. >> if somebody really wants to do that and they think that's important, i think somebody will eventually figure out a way but in the state of new hampshire i'm pretty confident that we're pretty good at what we do. >> the secretary of state mr. gardner predicts a record 550,000 people will vote on tuesday. that could mean nearly 3,000 would show up without an

visit with bill gardner, c-span had a chance to learn about a piece of furniture that is an important part of new hampshire primary history. >> we are joined by bill gardner to talk about the history of new hampshire politics. there is something important in the process. talk about stephen bullock. >> he was a legislator in 1950 from a small town of richmond. it has less than 1000 people in it to this day. he was a farmer and he put a the in that created primary. he wanted more people to be a .art of the process they put the bill in, it passed, it became law. us the deskas given that he used. , weng the filing period usually have them file on the only piece of furniture in the state house now that was here when the state house opened in 1819 and that was typically the desk. on the occasion of the 100th anniversary with the first new hampshire presidential primary, we used the desk as the filing desk. all the candidates. we have 58 candidates on the ballot, 30 on the republican ballot. 28 on the republican ballot. on the desk, honoring representative bullock who was the one who put the

some people say bill gardner has got this but that couldn't be further from the truth. >> when you think of new hampshire, you think of a few things. general john stark and the new hampshire primary. it is so vital we keep this here. we have had it 100 years. what do we do when this goes away? every other state once this and i don't want it to leave. story, we heard about people who criticize the diversity of new hampshire. you have an interesting counterpoint to make. >> i think new hampshire has the type of diversity that matters. it political diversity. they are betting you based on a political ideology. that is what new hampshire has. not your racial views on public policy but your political ideology. that is the type of diversity new hampshire has. i'm very nervous about what the primary now is the dnc, the rnc, and the national media. it want to take the control away from us. we have to be real careful. i don't think the people in new hampshire realize how important this is if we lose it. >> this is a generational fight for new hampshire will step are the next generation and gauche

the secretary of state bill gardner was here earlier. 200 precincts. sticking with the forecast. 550,000 primary voters. peter barnes. donald trump. >> serious question. what do you think of waterboarding? is it okay. i thought he would say absolutely. some people, she just said a terrible thing. you know what she said, shouted out. [bleep] she said -- >> politically incorrect. while garrity. i can tell you voters here, they know the difference. do not forget. turning now to joe trippi and jean allowed in. do you think that it is going to matter? maybe, you know, back and forth. >> look, i do not think that there is much. it depends on the supporters. i do think that it will be a bit more. i just do not see him having that kind of ground game. it does not matter as much as new hampshire. it still does matter. i think jeb bush, kasich, rubio and others have much stronger ground operations. i think he will come down a little. i do not think it will be because of anything that he said. trish: ground operation matters for sure in a state like this. donald

should be a good day, and ecretary of state bill gardner mentioned that even with a little bit of snow it shouldn't affect his predictions that it may be a record turnout in new hampshire. host: you say record turnout. estimates e specifically on first-time vote ers and who are they coming to vote for? good well, that's a question. the secretary of state did not go that route. but he bases his predictions on mostly absentee ballots that have already been cast, a number of them, anyway. that's the big question of the is where these new voters come from. the university of new hampshire week ago y about a saying approximately 30% of the since here are really new 2008, so there's a lot of ounger vote ers and some older people that haven't moved to the state, of course. so that's a wildcard, but we these people may vote and the undeclared voters in new hampshire, the so-called independents. that's another huge voting block. it makes up approximately 40% of he new hampshire electorate, whether they choose -- and undeclared voters as you mentioned earlier, can choose to pick up a democratic b

secretary of state bill gardner is fond of saying new hampshire's place in the process will always endure as long as the people have the will to keep it. tradition matters. >> there's a reason the kentucky derby is in kentucky. there is a reason why the rose bowl is where it is, what all kinds of different cultural events are where they are. that is the same reason that new hampshire has the primary. it is here because it's a birth is here. >> we are joined by the new hampshire members of respective national parties, steve and kathy. it seems like the latest threat is coming out of the rnc. how real is this threat to our place in the process? >> is very real. up until about 10 or 20 years ago, the rnc sat back and let states a jockey and bill garner did a tremendous job threatening other states. 10 years ago, the parties started to wake up to the fact they have to control the nominating process. if they ever really decided to do so, they could say any state that holds a primary before outside of our approved calendar forfeits the right to be nominated. i expect we will see that kind of pr

secretary of state bill gardner is expecting a record voter turnout for tomorrow' s primary , even with a storm headed our way today. the storm is making its to new hampshire right now. the snow is expected to start falling later this morning and tomorrow morning. most of the state is expected to see between three and 5 inches but areas in the far southeastern part of the state could pick up more. erin: we have more than 100 schools canceling or having an early release. what is the snow going to be like? >> it falls from the upper teens to mid 20' s. heavily, but we will have the wind. that will gust 30 to 35 miles per hour, making the snow blow around. it starts to arrive in southern areas either side of lunchtime. there will be some southeastern areas that wind up with fluffy snow. here is a live look at 93. kevin: we are joined by deb davidson. deb: the major roads are nice and dry and moving up to speed. not seeing any problems on 93 north or south. we are beginning to see building volume through the mill yard. traffic is moving up to speed with 93. the everett turnpike is ok. build

secretary of state bill gardner is expecting a record turnout for tomorrow' s primary even that storm is making its way to new hampshire right now. it is expected to start following later this morning and contine through tomorrow morning. most of the state is expected to see between three to five inches of snow. but areas in the far eastern part of the state could pick up more. kevin: a quiet start to the day. light snow by late morning in southern areas of the state and midafternoon up north. we are expecting a light coating to an inch or two. wind. it will be a light, fluffy snow. with the wind, it will blow around rather easily across the a few spots could be 6, 7, 8 inches of snow. erin: the candidates cannot be we want to check the roads for you this morning. no problems out here along 93. kevin: for a look at the morning drive here in the granite state. we' re joined live by 95.7 wzid' s deb davidson. good morning deb. with triple team traffic reports i' m deb davidson. deb: 293 is looking good. we are not seeing any problems right now on 101, 111, or the spalding. and 93 north

the secretary of state bill gardner said on friday that 550,000 people are expected to come out to the polls. >> thank you very much. >>> we're talking about these confusing polls and i was talking about a colleague and friend former senator scott brown, was it like that when he was running for senate in new hampshire. this is like -- what's the method to this? >> there's no method. you pay a thousand dollars and p you get on the ballot. >> it's not even in alphabet cal order. >> they say it seriously. i think you're going to have a much larger turnout over the 550,000 the secretary predicted, i think it's going to be higher than that. >> you know the argument, that benefits the republicans side, donald trump, on the democratic side bernie sanders. it didn't quite work out that way. maybe it would have been less than a great night for bernie sanders had he not had that great turn out in iowa. what do you make of that? >> i think that's true here. a little different in iowa. people are getting out and voting hard core. this is the first in the nation. you get a good idea where people st

the secretary of state in the state, bill gardner has predicted a record turnout. 550,000, perhaps even more voters than that. it was very clear in polling places that there were big crowds coming in. that usually speaks very well for donald trump. the bigger the turnout, the more newer voters. he had a big lead in the polls. all of his rivals said it was an insurmountable lead. then the question becomes, could john kasich catch him? chris christie? jeb bush? there's been a lot of talk about the revenge of the governors finally getting their moment. one could finally come in second. >> gregory? >> i have a question television. you've been in tv for a while. let's say you have a choice. looking really, really short on tv or being forced to sit on two pillows that everybody in television can see that you're sitting on. no more pillows. >> oh, my gosh. >> yes. now you're shorter than dana. >> all right, all right. >> you know, gregory just blew it up but dana will save the day. >> i am sitting on two pillows too. >> this is all brought to you by big pillow. big pillow saved the show. >> i'

gardner who said he was sticking with his forecast for a record turnout tonight here in new hampshire for the primary. 550,000 votes. lori. >> that would be something, peter barnes thank you so much. don't miss fox business coverage, neil cavuto anchors our coverage beginning at 7:55 p.m. eastern. bond king bill gross was on yesterday and told liz claman what action he would like to see from the fed. listen. >> it's obvious that on a global basis, the united states and the fed, you know, is the global banker for the world. it's obvious that increase in interest rates has dramatic repercussions in terms of risk assets, equity prices and global bond prices, and so i think at some point they have to rethink what they thought for the past several years. >> is that what's needed to rethink what the fed thought. >>er with going to hear from a fed official, the fed official herself tomorrow. let's get to that with traders at the new york stock exchange, the cme group and the nymex. stephen guilfoyle joining me from the floor of the new york stock exchange. sarge, midafternoon note, you were

a lot of people say bill gardner's got this. that couldn't be further from the truth. how important is it that we are collectively engaged? >> when you think of new hampshire you think of a few things. general john stark live free or die and then you think of the new hampshire primary. it is vital. it is so important that we keep this here and like you said a hundred years. what do we do when this goes away? and you know every other state wants this. and i don't want it to leave. this is new hampshire. >> we just heard about people who criticized the diversity of new hampshire, eddie, and that's an argument we've heard a lot, but you have an interesting counterpoint to make. >> absolutely. i think new hampshire has the type of diversity that matters. that's political diversity. that is what people are selecting. based upon your political ideology is what new hampshire has. not your racial views on public policy but your political ideology. that's the type of diversity new hampshire has. we have that better than anyone else. >> go ahead. you wanted to jump in. >> what i

gardner, secretary of state. that compares to 530,000 voters, that was previous record in 2008. scanlon says that it looks like people are turning out which is great because candidates in both parties are generating a lot of excitement. deirdre? deirdre: peter, thank you so much. peter barnes live there in new hampshire. so tonight, 755 p.m. eastern time, we'll bring you results from our nation's first primary. fox business's neil cavuto will bring results as soon as they come in. primary voters in the granite state have a pretty solid track record predicting nominees. six 1976 five candidates who won new hampshire eventually won the party's nomination. that is out of seven contests. two candidates went on to become president, ronald reagan, and president george h.w. bush. on new hampshire side voters have less predictive track record. they have given 5 to eventual eight nominees. one came president in the 1976. for his take on power of the primaries we bring in former senate majority leader trent lott. so glad y

senator cory gardner's bill to impose further sanctions against north korea is headed to the president's desk. gardner says recent actions from pyongyang require a response from the u.s., not patience. a satellite launch and multiple nuclear tests apparently have gardner and the rest of congress ready to strengthen sanctions against pyongyang. the senator says north korea has failed to learn its lesson from decades of global criticism. with hints of a legitimate nuclear program, gardner says now is the time to pay attention to north korea. the bill, among other things, applies sanctions to any person that has knowingly imported goods from north korea and specifically identifies people engaged in severe human rights abuses in the country. the bill also calls for sanctioning cybersecurity in north korea because of suspected cyber terrorism efforts from pyongyang. gardner calls north korean supreme leader 'forgotten maniac', who can no longer go unnoticed. senator cory gardner: "the united states policy toward north korea is one that's been dubbed 'strategic patience'. well quite frankly th

i have to say, judy, the secretary of state, bill gardner, of new hampshire expects heavy turnout. it's been steady at the polls, but there are about 900,000 registered voters in new hampshire. the secretary of state expects 500,000 of them to come out today. judy? >> woodruff: you can feel the excitement all the way here in washington. so, lisa, you were out today at polling places talking to voters. what are they saying to you? >> you know, there were some of the story lines we've been reporting on. i talked to many donald trump voters today, and they told me to a person that they are not just voting in protest, that they do believe donald trump could be a strong president. i asked them even further, judy, what do you make of the fact that some people say they're offended by donald trump, that think he sort of is too loose of a cannon? they said they know that's true, but they're willing to take that risk because they think america is in such a weak position that they want a leader like donald trump. that's certainly something that came across at the polls. what surprised me the

literally 20% of the projected turnout by the secretary of state bill gardner who has it at a record 550,000 votes. they are on track right now somewhere in the neighborhoods of 80 to 100,000. the one thing that the trump campaign almost dared not ask and hoped for was that the number two candidate would come out of new hampshire being john kasich. they believe that that's a pushover for them because kasich lacks the type of organization that the panel has been talking about in the last few minutes. he has spent so much time in new hampshire, he lacks the kind of infrastructure in any of the upcoming states. by contrast the trump campaign today launched attack ad at ted cruz. the texas senator has serious organization in southern states starting in the first in the south primary in south carolina. and then going on through the march 1st states including what's been euphemistically discussed as the sec states when, in fact, some of them are actually acc in the naacp collegiate acronym dialogue. this is exactly what they wanted. they believe that jeb bush is even better for them. and t

gardner is expecting a record voter turnout for this primary. the weather could be a factor tomorrow morning. kevin: i think the snow we have as we go through the afternoon and this evening, people will be shoveling out early tomorrow morning. beyond that, scattered areas of lighter snow tomorrow morning and a few snow showers around in the afternoon. there will be accumulation coming in from the system, a strong system located well offshore. it will be spreading light snow into southern parts of the state as quickly as 11:00 this morning and starting to spread northward into the north country by late in the day. as the snow falls, temperatures in the upper teens to lower range of the 20' s. a light coating to a couple of inches of accumulations. with temperatures as cold as they are, roadway treatment will not work as well as it normally snowfall focused later this >>> there she is, our special super bowl kid correspondent, marlo mosley standing by. she had a huge night on the sidelines. we'll talk to her about that. did you see her at the game

bill gardner, secretary of state also came by to check it out. he said from what he is tearing across the state, turnout is heavy, sticking with his projection of a record turnout of 550,000 people. but he said he has talked to local police here in merrimack to help them get the traffic to flow better. it could be the traffic. of course they have the voting continuing until tonight at 7:00. neil: with the voting, they can keep you later at the polls this summer swamped. >> some people it might. neil: they will close the door close the doors and everyone has had a chance. >> that is correct. as you said, the turnout matters to a lot of candidates. we will be watching this precinct very close way. >> that particular precinct that gave high turnout. the arguments i guess the same as it was in iowa and we know where that went. the benefits of bernie sanders, unelected and if it's donald trump on the right. i don't know if it is quite that black and white. is that the sense you are getting to show up, and the ground game will start mattering. >> yeah,

the secretary of state bill gardner said he's expecting record turnout. martha? martha: molly line at the polling place in manchester, new hampshire. once they wash out, they made up their minds. that seems to be the moment when a lot of decisions are made. bill: we have not seen a race like this with so many possibilities. like the coverage goes on and on. the decisions on behalf of these voters, it goes on and on. you can't vote for mr. potato head. you are not taking a hat, and an arm and a leg. by all appearance this has been a difficult decision for all the people in new hampshire. martha: they have had them pretty much begging for their votes. we'll show you one candidate down on one knee saying please if you are making a decision, vote for me. lots to come this morning. bill: the polls are open. voters casting their ballots. steven hayes is standing by. so, too, is donald trump. we have a brand-new hour jam packed at top of the hour in manchester. >> it's an incredible experience and process and we love being part of it. we are going to finish strong here

though it hasn't received the attention it deserved during today's debate, the gardner and menendez bill assessed the threat of cybersecurity with robust sanctions against those who control the cyber warfare apparatus. this creates a new policy framework that xcombines effective sanctions and counter military actions that can stop the nuclear ambition, address cybersecurity and bring some sanity back to the political calculus. a new policy framework that shows urdesire to neutralize any threat that north korea may represent. this bipartisan bill proved unanimously in january expands and tightens sanctions for north korea nuclear and ballistic missile development and other e destructive measures of the kim jong-un. it requires the president to look into weapons of mass destruction, arms related materials, luxury goods, humanitarian violations, the provision of industrial materials like coal or metal used in activities including weapons of mass destruction, proliferation activities or use in prison or labor camps. the president is mandated to sanctions any person found to have materially c

>> i learned long time ago if bill gardner says there's going to be a big turnout, there's going to be a big turnout. with the level of interest on both sides of the aisle, it won't surprise me at all. on the dem ek side, that san interesting race. when we see the clear establishment choice really being crushed by, you know, a liberal socialist candidate, that has created an awful lot of interest in this race on the other side as well. >> do you think new hampshire is going to continue with its tradition of picking the president on the gop side? >> well, you know what, alex, i would actually reject the premise of that question. our first in the nation primary isn't about picking the nominee or picking the president. it's about preserving that really unique american ideal that anyone can become president. our state is so accessible, small, geographically accessible. we have an unusually high level of civic engagement. our citizens are very informed and very involved. this is -- if you're willing to come here and do the work and, like john mccain did, carry your own bags and, you know, l

i called new hampshire secretary of state bill gardner, the actual curator of this primary who by law sets a first in the nation. i asked him, who are the major candidates and what criteria? he didn't use national polling. he used new hampshire -- metrics. he says the people trying to kick off the stage are major candidates. i think carly fiorina should to be there.d she earned it. they are not when to listen to me. rubio,onald trump, marco ted cruz, ben carson, and the three current or former governors, jeb bush, chris christie, and john kasich are the seven who will appear on that stage. amk heath is with wgir radio. he is our guest for the next 40 minutes or so. if you want to call in, republican, 202-748-8001, democrat, 202-748-8000, independent, 202-748-8002. a special and all morning for new hampshire voters, 202-748-8003. as folks are calling in, it is or so hard to tell who wins the debate. who in your mind has the most to lose of the seven candidates who will be on stage? nice -- will tell you a tell you in a second. i'm sorry cut your. carly fiorina is losing airtime. an hou

senators gardner and menendez deserve real praise for drafting this bill and i thank and commend chairman corker and ranking member cardin for leading an open-amendment process within the committee that strengthened the bill with truly constructive changes. among them, an amendment from senator markey to crack down on transfers of conventional weapons to and from north korea and another from senator shaheen which makes sure these new sanctions won't impede our ability to recover the remains of any lost american service member in north korea. i want to thank senators corker and cardin, not only for advancing this bill but just as importantly for leading the foreign relations committee in a bipartisan spirit that reflects the best of the senate in an uncertain world. this is a strong bill and i am confident it will enhance sanction against north korea in response to the nuclear test last month and its dangerous nuclear missile launch last weekend. it is a clear, direct response that sends an unmistakable signal to north korea and the world that we intend to continue to be actively engaged.
