Dixville Notch 12 D 6 R and some undeclared FIRST vote at 12 midnight

Dixville Notch, Hart's Location vie to be first in the nation to vote

HART'S LOCATION - At midnight Tuesday, the registered voters in Hart's Location, already lined up alphabetically, will announce their names to the ballot clerks and proceed to one of the voting booths set up in the very small town hall.

"We have 36 voters on our checklist," Mark Dindorf, a selectman in the town of under 50 residents, said Sunday.

It's a race to be first in the nation to announce the election results, a race that is made more challenging by the media attention focused on the other New Hampshire midnight voting district. Dixville Notch also has another advantage over Hart's: It has a shorter checklist. Since the Balsams Grand Resort remains closed for renovations, there are fewer voters to cast their ballots during the voting, which this year will take place at the resort's ski lodge.

Wasn't Obama the first dem in quite some time to win dixville in 2008? And he won big statewide. Dems have won the state before while losing dixville (Kerry iirc).
