On Tuesday, Granite Staters will cast their votes in one of two gubernatorial primaries, but those votes are unlikely to have much impact.
Former Executive Councilor Cinde Warmington is the only name on the Democratic ballot. And incumbent Gov. Kelly Ayotte does not face a serious primary challenge. Shaun Fife, of Gilmanton, and Bob Wayne McClory, of Goffstown, have filed to challenge Ayotte in the Republican primary, but neither has mounted a campaign likely to make a dent in Ayotte’s chances.
