A nearly year-long battle between New Hampshire and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) over the timing of the state's century-old, first-in-the-nation presidential primary came to a culmination on Wednesday.
"The date of the New Hampshire first-in-the-nation presidential primary will be Jan. 23," Secretary of State Dave Scanlan announced in front of a crowd of national and local reporters, state officials, political leaders and dignitaries crowded into the Hall of Flags at the Statehouse in Concord.
