Never going to happen. That's how New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu responded early last year to the prospect of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) stripping his state of its first-in-the-nation presidential primary.
The state has refused to relinquish its top primary spot, and in response, the DNC has stripped the primary of its delegates, rendering it purely symbolic.
Liz Tentarelli, the president of the League of Women Voters New Hampshire, a non-partisan group, likens the state's primaries to when the circus comes to town. National media arrive in droves, and candidates crisscross the state, an area of just over 24,000sq km (9,300sq miles).
