N.H. A.G. issues cease and desists after DNC delegate announcement
CONCORD, N.H. (WCAX) – Election animosity resulting in a cease and desist order ahead of New Hampshire first in the nation primary.
Granite State Attorney General John Formella accused the Democratic National Committee of unlawful voter suppression Monday. It comes after the national party announced that there would be no delegates awarded in the New Hampshire primary, saying in a letter to the democratic party in the state that the election would be “meaningless.”
That’s because the election doesn’t fit in the DNC’s new calendar announced almost a year ago which has South Carolina as the first primary election on February 3rd.

NH dog facility owner charged with animal cruelty after video surfaces online
A 26-year-old woman, who owns a dog training and kennel facility in Brentwood, New Hampshire, has been arrested after a video surfaced online showing apparent animal cruelty in Methuen, Massachusetts.
Brentwood police notified the Methuen Police Department about the video on Jan. 2. A preliminary investigation then identified the woman in the video as Maddison Eastman.
Police obtained an arrest warrant for Eastman on two counts of animal cruelty, and she turned herself into Lawrence District Court last Wednesday.
Eastman was arraigned Friday. Information from her court appearance wasn’t immediately available, and officials haven’t released further details about what Eastman allegedly did.
Methuen police said they’ll have no further comment at this time and referred all inquiries to the Essex County District Attorney’s Office.
