On the Republican side, it was Donald J. Trump, the second-place finisher in the Northeastern primary, who won in the Granite State with 34 percent of the vote. Ohio Gov. John Kasich was second while Cruz finished third.

More than 2,300 total ballots were cast in the two-day news@Northeastern primary, with greater participation in the Republican election (1,323 votes, or 57 percent) than in the Democratic contest (993 votes, or 43 percent).

Sanders, who appeared to gain momentum with a strong showing in last week’s Iowa caucuses, captured 676 votes (68 percent) to Clinton’s 317 (32 percent).

For the Republicans, two candidates distanced themselves from the field, with Cruz (431 votes, 33 percent) outpacing Trump (368 votes, 28 percent). Florida Sen.
