CNN: Only 12% in N.H. Are First-Time Voters; ‘Lower than 2016’

‘12% said they were a first-time voter, and that is lower than the 16% that said so back in 2016’

CHALIAN: "We also took a look, Jake, at first-time voters. We know Bernie Sanders particularly talks about trying to expand the electorate, bring people in that haven't voted before, especially young people that haven't voted before. Only 12 percent, according to these early exit polls, and I anticipate these numbers are going to change throughout the evening, as folks were leaving the polling places, 12 percent told us they were a first-time voter. That's a little lower than the 16 percent that said so back in 2016. We'll see if that number changes throughout the night."
