According to the embattled ex-president, New Hampshire laws “allow Democrats to vote in the Republican primary.”
Trump also told his New Hampshire crowd that “Nikki Haley is counting on Democrats and liberals to infiltrate your Republican primary.”
But Doocy was quick to fact-check and ultimately debunk Trump’s false claim during Friday morning’s episode of Fox & Friends.
“So, here’s the thing,” Doocy explained. “Donald Trump said that New Hampshire law allows for Democrats to vote in the Republican primary. That is not true.”
"That is not true," Doocy explained.
“You’ve got to be a registered Republican unless you’re undeclared,” the Fox News host continued. “The last day for a Democrat to change party affiliation was back in October. So, that is not accurate.”
Doocy then explained that there are “so many” independent and undeclared voters in New Hampshire that those voters are given the choice to vote in the Democratic or Republican primary when the state’s polls open on Tuesday.
“But the thing about New Hampshire is there are so many independents. There are so many undeclared,” Doocy said. “When they show up at the polling places on Tuesday, they’re asked: Do you want a Republican ballot or a Democrat ballot, depending on your party affiliation.”
“If you’re a Democrat, you can get the Democrat. If you’re a Republican, you get a Republican,” he added. “If you’re undeclared, you can have either.”
Lawrence Jones noted that “4,000 Democratic voters have switched party affiliation to Republican or undeclared” ahead of the New Hampshire primaries.
Doocy’s Fox & Friends co-host, Lawrence Jones, then chimed in and noted that “4,000 Democratic voters have switched party affiliation to Republican or undeclared” ahead of next week’s New Hampshire primaries.
“It’s been 4,000 Democratic voters who have switched party affiliation to Republican or undeclared,” Jones said.

“Just 408 Democrats changed their registration to Republican,” CBS News added.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Trump continued to repeat his false claim about Democrats voting in the New Hampshire GOP primary on Friday morning while attacking Nikki Haley.
Trump also attacked New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu and suggested that he should “spend more time keeping Democrats from voting in the Republican Primary.”
“Governor Chris Sununu, the now failing Governor of New Hampshire, where I am beating his endorsed candidate, Nimbra, by big numbers, and DeSanctimonious by even bigger numbers, should spend more time keeping Democrats from voting in the Republican Primary,” the former president wrote at 7:30 AM on Friday morning.
“How ridiculous is that?” he added.
