He’s made the claim repeatedly as polls show Nikki Haley gaining ground.
Former President Donald Trump continues to push a false claim that Democrats can vote in Tuesday’s New Hampshire’s GOP primary and “infiltrate” the process.
“Independents and Democrats are allowed to vote, so in order to try and stop Trump, they go out and they sign up and they can sign up very easily,” Trump said Thursday during an appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity,” a claim he’s made repeatedly in recent days. “And so somebody should have stopped it.”
New Hampshire is an open primary and independents can legally participate in either the Republican or Democratic primaries.
Registered Democrats are allowed to vote only in a Democratic primary. The cutoff for voters to change their party affiliation was in October.
