The results of the New Hampshire primary in the Souhegan Valley lined up with the rest of New Hampshire last Tuesday, with a few notable exceptions.

While the state gave Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump overwhelming victories over their opponents in the first-in-the-nation primary, Sanders’ lead over Hillary Clinton was modest in Amherst. She received about 48 percent of the Democratic vote there, and more than 40 percent in Mont Vernon.

Clinton earned a bit more than 30 percent in Lyndeborough and Wilton, and 33 percent in Milford. On the Republican side, John Kasich, the second-highest Republican vote recipient statewide, came closest to Trump in Amherst, with 24 percent of the vote. Statewide, Kasich got about 16 percent of the GOP vote.

That’s in contrast to Milford, where Trump received 22 percent of the vote and Kasich only 10 percent. Mark Vincent, chairman of the Amherst Republican Committee, said Kasich has appealed to Republicans in Amherst who have "been paying attention" to national politics.

The last time we had a balanced budget, Kasich was part of that, he said. Despite Trump’s big win, he said, "There are a lot of candidates left and a lot of primaries," so it’s too early to guess who will wrap up the nomination. Marco Rubio also did better in Amherst and Mont Vernon than in the other four towns and statewide, coming in third.

Lyndeborough and Milford gave the third-place spot to Jeb Bush. Mont Vernon and Wilton gave third place to Ted Cruz. Turnout was good in all of the towns, and Amherst achieved a record 71 percent, with a total of 6,071 votes cast and 435 new voters registered that day. Milford’s turnout was 58 percent, and Mont Vernon and Lyndeborough each had 68 percent of voters at the polls.
