First town weighs in on election at midnight
    #9180385 - 11/03/08 10:24 PM (15 years, 4 months ago)

CNN) -- The first wave of election returns won't flow in until 7 p.m. ET Tuesday night, but the results in one precinct will be known much sooner.

Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, is the first in the nation to vote in the primaries and Election Day.

Dixville Notch, a village in New Hampshire's northeast corner, will begin voting at the stroke of 12 a.m. ET Tuesday, and the ballots won't take long to tally: Dixville Notch only has about 20 registered voters.

The town, home to around 75 residents, has opened its polls shortly after midnight each Election Day since 1960, drawing national media attention for being the first place in the country to make its presidential preferences known.

But since 1996, another small New Hampshire town, Hart's Location, reinstated its practice from the 1940s and also opens its polls at midnight.

The result in Dixville Notch is, however, hardly a reliable bellwether for the eventual winner of the White House or even the result statewide.

While New Hampshire is a perennial swing state -- with 4 Electoral College votes at stake -- Dixville Notch consistently leans Republican. The last Democrat it picked was Hubert Humphrey over Richard Nixon in 1968.

President Bush also won the town in a landslide in the past two elections: He captured 73 percent of the vote in 2004 (19 residents picked Bush while six preferred Sen. John Kerry), and secured 80 percent of the vote in 2000 (21 votes for Bush, 5 votes for Al Gore.)

But the result could be close this year given Democrats now outnumber Republicans there.

According to Donna Kaye Erwin, the supervisor of the voter checklist, Dixville Notch has five registered Democrats, four Republicans and 11 undeclared voters.

The result could also be a nail biter given the town picked both Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama for the New Hampshire Democratic and Republican primaries last January.

McCain ultimately won the state of New Hampshire, while Sen. Hillary Clinton upset Obama there.

Fuck! McCain just lost....


"And the count is a real shocker, as just read on CNN: Obama 15 votes, McCain six votes -- in a place that has never voted Democratic for president in the 50 years they've been doing this tradition."



Fuck you Dixville Notch!  :grin:
