The presidential nominating contests kick off in less than two weeks with voting in Iowa on Jan. 15. That's followed by New Hampshire on Jan. 23.
Both states have a quirky history for why they have wound up first in the nominating process, and they award only a sparse number of delegates. But both have mattered significantly. Consider that since 1976, no Republican has lost both and went on to win the party's nomination for president.
