1. New Hampshire primary voters hit the polls

The New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary got underway early Tuesday when Dixville Notch and two other tiny townships voted just after midnight. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg led in Dixville Notch, while Sen. Amy Klobuchar got the most midnight votes overall, with eight. She was followed by Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), with four. Sanders led CNN's last tracking poll before the vote with the support of 29 percent of likely primary voters. Former South Bend, Indiana, mayor Pete Buttigieg, fresh off a razor-thin victory over Sanders in the still-contested Iowa caucuses, trailed with 22 percent, followed by former Vice President Joe Biden at 11 percent, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) with 10 percent, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) with 7 percent.
