2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHillary Clinton wins Dixville Notch midnight vote
http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/08/politics/dixville-notch-results-2016/index.html(CNN)Hillary Clinton 4, Donald Trump 2, Gary Johnson 1 -- and a single write-in surprise: Mitt Romney.
With eight residents voting and five times as many reporters watching, Dixville Notch has spoken.
Tuesday night's result will hearten superstitious Clinton supporters. The town's small collection of dedicated voters have correctly picked the eventual winner in three of the last four contests. In 2000 and 2004 it broke for George W. Bush and in 2008 it delivered a victory for Barack Obama.
Its more recent results have been less predictive. Romney and Obama split 10 votes in 2012, and John Kasich edged out Trump in this year's GOP primary kick-off.
Nearby Millsfield, which also voted at midnight, delivered a big win for Trump, who scored 16 votes to Clinton's four. One voter wrote-in Bernie Sanders, the New Hampshire Democratic primary winner. Meanwhile, Clinton rallied to a narrow victory in Hart's Location, outscoring Trump by a 17-14 margin, with Johnson gaining another three votes and two more voters volunteering Sanders.
With overnight in-person voting completed, Trump carries a seven-vote lead over Clinton, 32-25.

(30,810 posts)1. Surprising Trump didn't fare better there, actually.
I hope that foreshadows a big Clinton win.

In a swing state like New Hampshire would be foolish enough to vote for Sanders. That's so irresponsible
