The Democratic National Committee is hiring IT people for these positions:

The Daily Wire, a conservative blog, posted an e-mail purportedly from Madeleine Leader, the DNC's Data Services Manager, showing her announcing the openings and writing

I personally would prefer that you not forward to cisgender straight while males, since they're already in the majority.

The Daily Wire blogger posted a different screenshot of the e-mail on Twitter.

    I'm born and raised in New Hampshire, and I never minded the quadrennial circus coming to town. It boosts business for a lot of restaurants and such, and it gives 'em way more voting power than they really should have.

    Also, New Hampshire has a fairly good track record of picking wisely, mostly in who we want to not win:
    - In 1992, New Hampshire voted for Paul Tsongas over Bill Clinton, mostly on the grounds that Clinton was a philandering scumbag. We were right.
    - In 2000, had the rest of the country listened to New Hampshire, we would have had John McCain in charge in 2001 rather than George W Bush. Say what you will about John McCain, but he's consistently opposed torture (no surprise - he was tortured himself), and might not have been dumb enough to let Al Qaida hijack those planes in the first place.
    - In 2016, New Hampshire absolutely had the right idea about Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush.
