First Votes (Repost)

First polls open at Midnight E.T. in New Hampshire!
The towns of Dixville Notch and Hart's Location open at Midnight and close shortly thereafter, since all 115 eligible voters will vote in the election. They are also the first to report their votes in the entire country.

• Since 1960, Dixville Notch has voted with the eventual winner 6 out of 12 times (50%). However, they have voted for the Republican nominee 11 out of 12 times. Strangely, the only time they voted Democratic was in 1968 when the citizens of Dixville Notch supported Hubert Humphrey by a vote of 8-4.
  

• Since 1996, Hart's Location has gone with the Republican nominee each time, meaning that it has voted with the winner two out of three times (66%). It should be noted that the town of Hart's Location hasn't had over 31 votes in the presidential election since 1996. It is, indeed, a very small town.

UPDATE: Obama WINS Dixville Notch 15-6! The first time they've voted for a Democrat since 1968. Does this mean anything? Probably not, but we'll see.

The next updates will include the fancy widgets and hopefully my electoral predictions. Man, I can't believe I wrote that much... sorry.
