230,000 New NH Voters for the 2020 Presidential Election

Researchers also state that because more than 20% of the voters eligible to cast ballots in 2020 could not have participated in the 2016 primary, presidential candidates trying to win over residents should be careful about characterizing New Hampshire based solely on what happened in past primaries.

Meet Baby McGregor

In December 2018, a few weeks before Christmas, a cow that’s part of the UNH dairy herd got her foot caught in a grate and fell into a manure trench at the Fairchild Dairy Teaching and Research Center and was trapped. Durham Fire and McGregor EMS crews worked for three hours to rescue the 1,200 Holstein, who was not pregnant at the time, from her “stinky situation.” Ruby was unhurt and the grate was modified.
