  Two former U.S. lawmakers, a former governor and more than a dozen other New Hampshire Democrats are among the signatories of a letter, first reported by Politico, emailed to the White House that argues shifting New Hampshire out of its slot as the first-in-the-nation primary would put party members on the ballot next year in jeopardy. 
  “While we share your desire to elevate more diverse voices in the process, we believe that the proposed schedule could wreak havoc on Democrats up and down the ticket in New Hampshire and unnecessarily jeopardize four critical electoral votes in your re-election campaign,” reads the letter, dated Tuesday.
context: The Democratic National Committee (DNC) voted last month to make South Carolina the first state to cast ballots in the primary lineup, kicking New Hampshire out of its early slot and removing Iowa as the first caucus state.  
  The plan, backed by Biden, is intended to increase diversity in the presidential nominating system by putting more diverse states earlier on the schedule. >

  It’s not nearly that dramatic, NH Dems. >

  Translation: NH businesses NEED the infusion of $$$$ that the primary brings every 4 years. To which I have to say tough shit.
