The New Hampshire primary was the second contest in the nation, held directly after the Iowa caucuses. The primary was easily won by neighboring Massachusetts governor and eventual nominee Michael Dukakis, who won all 10 counties in the Granite State, and received 8 delegates. Dick Gephardt, a representative from Missouri, finished in 2nd place with 4 delegates. Illinois senator Paul Simon finished in a close 3rd place, also receiving 4 delegates. No other candidates received delegates.
Dukakis won the crowded New Hampshire primary with just under 36% of the vote, but finished well ahead of his nearest opponent, Dick Gephardt.[1][2]
