Dixville Notch, NH has returned the first results in the 2024 US election. The town voted at midnight and only six ballots were cast, so tallying the results didn’t take long. In the presidential race the results were evenly split, with 3 votes each for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

(Famous last words)
Has Trump declared victory yet?
He’s probably fighting a bad case of reflux and diarrhoea because he is even with a woman of colour.
Funny, over here results can only start coming in when all polling stations are closed so as not to influence the vote of people further west…
That’s standard practice everywhere else in the US. New Hampshire has this thing about being first, though. They have the earliest presidential primary as well. Releasing early results for this one tiny town is a minor publicity gimmick that shouldn’t have any impact on the overall election. Even the rest of New Hampshire’s towns will wait until Tuesday evening to report their results.
In the Governor’s race they voted 5 Rep 1 Dem.
In the primary the 6 votes were 4 registered Republicans and 2 independents.
I’d say it’s not data, but a nice start for Harris
I think it’s interesting to note that in the 2020 presidential election there was only 5 voters and all 5 voted for Joe Biden.
wait how many people live there? my household has two votes. what kind of town gets only six?
The kind that sits way, way, waaaayyyy up north by the Canadian border.
