The call, an apparent imitation or digital manipulation of the president’s voice, says, “Voting this Tuesday only enables the Republicans in their quest to elect Donald Trump again.”

      I think this is the reason:

      New Hampshire holds closed primaries, which means Democrats and Republicans can only vote in their own party’s primaries. But independent voters, those who are not affiliated with either party, can vote in either primary — and they make up nearly 40 percent of New Hampshire’s electorate.

        So really, independent voters who lean left are being encouraged to stay home. Presumably this helps the far-right candidate.

          It’s to throw off Nikki Haley winning the nomination. She’s VERY popular in NH. I’m up there playing in the snow and ice every weekend and see a more NH than Trump signs.

            This is definitely a plausible explanation but I’m trying to figure why those people would listen to Joe Biden

              They are (I) voters that are likely to vote (D) in the general and there is a serious attempt to ratfuck Trump in NH by getting these left leaning (I) voters to vote Haley in the ® primary.

              So… this fake robocall is an Uno reverse card ratfuck trying to get those people to stay home.
