Over 1,500 Write-In Votes for CEASEFIRE in New Hampshire Primary

UPDATE (1/26, 6:00am EST): Associated Press’s final results omit any mention of the votes for CEASEFIRE in their report.

The New Hampshire Secretary of State has reported that over 1,500 voters wrote in CEASEFIRE in Tuesday’s primary.  A small number of votes have yet to be tabulated.

Reports as of Thursday morning show 1,497 Democrats and 34 Republicans wrote in CEASEFIRE.  These links require MS EXCEL to read.   The links to full county results are available here, also in EXCEL.   These links should have final updated counts within a few days.

Thanks go to the CEASEFIRE Campaign, as well as to the New Hampshire Secretary of State for making the decision to report these counts.

Twin Cities Healthcare Workers for Palestine Host Vigil Honoring Healthcare Workers Killed in Gaza

From Twin Cities Healthcare Workers 4 Palestine:

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — We, healthcare professionals and students from across the Twin Cities metro area, have formed a local chapter of the national Healthcare Workers for Palestine collective. Twin Cities Healthcare Workers for Palestine’s inaugural event will be a vigil honoring the hundreds of healthcare workers killed in Israel’s genocidal bombardment of Gaza.

According to the United Nations, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) have killed at least 337 healthcare workers in Gaza since October 7, 2023.

Patients in Gaza suffer from lack of access to lifesaving specialized care such as cancer treatment as well as basic medical supplies, clean water, food, and sanitation. The IOF continues to target healthcare workers, patients, hospitals, and ambulances, and continues to hold medical personnel hostage, including the doctors and nurses arrested at Al Shifa Hospital in November. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization warns that disease could kill more people in Gaza than Israel’s bombings themselves.

A Personal Message From Eric Garris

Dear Readers,

I never thought the situation in Palestine could become this dire. It is clear that the goal of the Israeli government is total war against all Palestinians in Gaza. The Israelis told Gaza citizens to leave the north to avoid being bombed, and then they started bombing the south.

The Biden Administration has stated that it places no conditions on how Israel uses the massive military shipments being sent to Israel. Congress is about to send even more money for war in Gaza, while the majority of Americans now support a permanent ceasefire.
