As candidates and media invade New Hampshire for Tuesday’s presidential primary, the Daily Dot is recommending you follow these Twitter users—from midnight voting in the North Country to the final count when the polls close.
Last week, we provided a similar list of who’s who in Iowa politics for the run up to that state’s caucuses.
Jim Merrill—@jimmerrillnh: Unlike last week, when no one really knew who was going to walk away with the Iowa prize, former Gov. Mitt Romney pretty much has New Hampshire locked down, thanks in part to the fact that he was the governor of neighboring Massachusetts. Merrill is Romney’s chief advisor in New Hampshire and will be likely lighting up Twitter feeds with updates of how the state’s front-runner is doing.
New Hampshire Republican Party—@NHGOP: Just like last week, it’s time for the host state’s Republican party to shine and @NHGOP will be keeping followers up to date on the happenings from Concord to Claremont.
WMUR and the Union Leader—@WMUR9 and @UnionLeader: News will be coming from every direction on Tuesday and two of the best sources will be WMUR and the Union Leader, prominent news outlets in the southern part of the state.
University of New Hampshire—@UNHpolitics: Few know New Hampshire politics as well as the Granite State residents themselves. For unfiltered analysis of Tuesday’s votes, check out the University of New Hampshire’s Twitter feed. The school’s political department Twitter account will be featuring expert information from the school’s top politicos.
The Balsams—@the_balsams: Hours before the rest of the state goes to vote, a handful of small mountain communities get to cast their ballots at the stroke of midnight. Although the number of votes are few, these communities can set the pace for the rest of the day. One such community is Dixville Notch, home of the Balsams Grand Resort, which has hosted the vote since the 1960s.
