First-time voters excited to cast ballots in 2024 NH Primary

As this year’s New Hampshire Primary election approaches, a large percentage of people are expected to head to the polls for the first time. 

Speaking with 7NEWS on Monday, many first-time voters said they know who they are voting for, adding that they are excited to cast their ballots. 

“DeSantis dropped out and I like Haley,” said voter David Singer in Manchester. “But I don’t think she’s got what it takes to win in the general election. So, I’m going to go with Donald Trump.” 

CNN recently reported 22% of eligible voters in Tuesday’s New Hampshire Primary have not voted before. 

The fresh vote, as a result, could be key to the primary’s outcome. 

Cade Maddock said Tuesday will be his first time going to the polls. He said everyone who can vote should cast their ballot. 

“Everyone has a voice and they let you vote for a reason,” he said. “So, get out there and do it.” 

“Don’t waste a vote,” he continued. 

A fellow first-time voter, Singer said he was inspired to vote this year because he wants change. 

“I got to make a difference, one person at the time” he said. “I’m proud. I’m going to vote.”

The Republican Primary will be a two-person race between Former President Donald Trump and Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley following Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ decision over the weekend to suspend his campaign. 

On the Democratic side, though 21 names will appear on the ballot, President Joe Biden’s name will be absent due to a dispute between New Hampshire’s state government and the Democratic National Committee, which replaced New Hampshire with South Carolina as the first state to vote in its 2024 primary schedule.

While Haley and Trump crossed the state with numerous events in recent days, some voters shared their thoughts. 

“We’re hoping that she becomes president,” one Nikki Haley supporter told 7NEWS, “because we want to see a woman president and she’s the one to do it.” 

“I think Nikki’s going to surprise,” another supporter said.

Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the US

(CNN) — One Virginia family received the keys to their new  3D-printed home  in time for Christmas. The home is Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the nation,  according to a Habitat news release. Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, told CNN it partnered with Alquist, a 3D printing company, earlier this year to begin the process. The 1,200-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two full baths and was built from concrete. The technology allowed the home to be built in just 12 hours, which saves about four weeks of construction time for a typical home. April Stringfield purchased the home through the  Habitat Homebuyer Program . She will move in with her 13-year-old son just in time for the holidays. “My son and I are so thankful,” Stringfield said in a  live feed streamed on Habitat’s Facebook  page. “I always wanted to be a homeowner. It’s like a dream come true.” To purchase the home, Stringfield logged hundreds of hours of

Lawsuit: High school football player says coaches forced him to eat pizza as punishment, violating religious beliefs

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school football player who says coaches forced him to eat a pizza covered with pepperoni grease in violation of his religious beliefs is suing his former district and the ousted coaches. The former Canton McKinley High School athlete and his parents filed a federal civil rights suit this week seeking millions of dollars in damages and alleging violations of his religious freedom and constitutional rights. The athlete says in the lawsuit that coaches were notified he doesn’t eat pork or pork residue as a member of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith, but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout — and indicated his spot on the team was at risk if he didn’t. The coaches say the player chose to remove pepperoni and eat the pizza rather than an alternative food. They weren’t aware it violated his religious beliefs, according to a  defamation case they filed  previously against the teen’s father, his attorney a

Bergeron, Pastrnak and Bruins finish off Capitals in 5 games

WASHINGTON (AP) — Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak dazzled on offense, Tuukka Rask was rock solid in net and the Boston Bruins are moving on to the second round of the playoffs. Bergeron scored twice at crucial times after Pastrnak’s  highlight-reel  goal, Rask made 40 saves and the Bruins eliminated the Washington Capitals in five games with a 3-1 victory Sunday night. Bergeron delivered the dagger with 7:35 left to set up a second-round showdown against either the Pittsburgh Penguins or New York Islanders. Chants of “TUUKK!” emanated from a large group of black and gold-clad Boston fans who were part of the limited-capacity sellout crowd of 5,333. Those were occasionally interrupted by “We want the Cup!” — the trophy the Bruins last won a decade ago after a 39-year title drought. They’re 12 wins away, thanks to their best players dominating in Game 5. Pastrnak made it look easy putting the puck behind his back and through his legs, assisted on Bergeron’s first goal and was par
