Candidates flock to New Hampshire, where stakes have risen after muddle of Iowa caucuses

LA Times  

People stand in line outside the Colonial Theater in Keene, N.H., on Tuesday to attend a campaign event with Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Democratic presidential hopefuls arrived in New Hampshire before dawn Tuesday for a weeklong primary sprint made more urgent by the vote-counting chaos that left the Iowa caucus results a muddle. The lack of verified, complete results from the Iowa Democratic Party deprived candidates who had a strong showing — notably Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Pete Buttigieg, former mayor of South Bend, Ind. Late Tuesday, Iowa Democratic officials reported partial results from 71% of precincts, showing Buttigieg and Sanders leading the field, with Sen. Elizabeth Warren in third and Biden lagging behind in fourth place. They win.” Sanders returned to New Hampshire later than the other candidates, holding an evening rally in Milford where a crowd that campaign aides estimated at well over 1,000 sprawled across three indoor tennis courts.
