NH attorney general issues cease and desist order to Democratic National Committee

CONCORD, N.H. (WCAX) - New Hampshire’s Republican attorney general on Monday issued a cease and desist order to the Democratic National Committee.

John Formella said it stems from a letter sent on Friday by the committee to the New Hampshire Democratic Party. In that letter, Formella says the DNC told the state party to tell people the New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary election on Jan. 23 is “meaningless.”

Formella says statements like that are misleading and could prevent voters from participating.

New Hampshire’s primary came under fire from Democrats at the national level when the Granite State refused to give up its first-in-the-nation primary status to South Carolina.

The DNC still considers South Carolina, on Feb. 3, to be first.
