And the Democratic Establishment of New Hampshire escorted him to the office of the Secretary of State.
I am very glad. As a Democrat I am glad. As a Hillary Clinton supporter I am glad. This is the right thing for the progressive movement and the right thing for the Democratic party.
Bernie Sanders has brought a lot of substance to many very important issues. And i hope he continues in that vein. Because that's what we need, an argument about what really matters. That's how he began his campaign, and I hope that is how he continues.

Bernie Sanders files for New Hampshire state ballot

Sen. Bernie Sanders filed his paperwork without issue in New Hampshire Thursday to appear on the state’s first-in-the-nation presidential primary ballot.
The longtime Vermont independent senator faced no challenges at Secretary of State Bill Gardner’s office, despite earlier concerns about whether he legally qualified as a Democrat. Sanders declared himself a Democrat Thursday, and he said he will run as a Democrat in future elections. That was good enough for Garnder.
“I’m a Democrat and should be on the ballot, I don’t think I need to say too much more,” Sanders said.
The chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, Ray Buckley, accompanied Sanders and vowed to fight any challenges. Sanders brought a lawyer and a statement from the Vermont Democratic Party chair vouching for him as well, just in case. The precautions were unnecessary, however, as the senator signed the proper paperwork and delivered his fee to applause, joking that he felt like the president signing a bill.
Afterward, Sanders rallied with about 750 supporters in Concord.
Someone could still file a challenge before the New Hampshire ballot law commission, which Buckley said he would fight. Sanders has run as an independent in every previous election he’s won, and he almost never attended a Democratic Party event until launching his presidential run. He caucuses with Democrats in the Senate, but is technically an independent. He did not, however, have to change his voter registration, since Vermont has no party registration.
