Chris Ager, the chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party, suggested that as many as 300,000 people could participate in the primary, the nation’s first, which is open to independent voters. That key voter bloc accounts for about 39 percent of New Hampshire’s roughly 900,000 voters, according to the secretary of state — the remaining electorate is split between Republicans and Democrats. Some Republican groups have set even higher expectations for turnout on Tuesday, including Americans for Prosperity Action, a political network founded by the billionaire industrialist brothers Charles and David Koch. The group, which [is supporting Ms. Haley](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnjXqrP0T1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMS8yOC91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9rb2NoLW5ldHdvcmstbmlra2ktaGFsZXktZW5kb3JzZW1lbnQtdHJ1bXAuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NiZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbl8yMDI0MDExOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTI5OTQmbmw9b24tcG9saXRpY3MmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1NTgxNiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZaKr9aplEkQyaVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD), said its data partner was predicting that turnout could approach 330,000 voters. Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, a Republican who has endorsed Ms. Haley, took a swipe at Iowa’s low turnout during an event for her on Tuesday night in Bretton Woods, N.H., where more than 100 people showed up during a snowstorm. “Iowa didn’t do a very good job with it,” he said. “Voter turnout was very, very low in Iowa. But here in New Hampshire we understand what this is all about, and we understand the rest of the country is watching and praying that we get this one right.” —Neil Vigdor and Nick Corasaniti The Run-Up podcast [[Article Image] Photo illustration by The New York Times; Photo: Jim Slosiarek/The Gazette, via Associated Press](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnjXqrP0TgaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wMS8xOC9wb2RjYXN0cy9ydW4tdXAtdHJ1bXAtaW93YS1jYXVjdXMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NiZlbWM9ZWRpdF9jbl8yMDI0MDExOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTI5OTQmbmw9b24tcG9saXRpY3MmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1NTgxNiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZaKr9aplEkQyaVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) [It Was Only One State, Right?
