This year, Dixville Notch residents cast four votes for Hillary Clinton, giving the Democratic candidate the win over Donald Trump, who earned two votes. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson notched one vote, while Green Party candidate Jill Stein did not receive any. In a twist ending, one of the votes cast in Dixville Notch went to Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and 2012 GOP presidential candidate.
According to tradition, residents of three New Hampshire locales have been granted the privilege of casting the very first votes in the 2016 elections. At midnight on Tuesday, polling places opened in the unincorporated town of Dixville Notch in Coos County, as well as the town of Hart?s Location in Carroll County. Joining these two towns in this longstanding tradition of midnight voting this year is Millsfield, also in Coos County.
Votes were tallied soon afterward, and now we have our first official election returns of this year?s presidential race.
