The residents of a tiny New Hampshire locale famous for its midnight voting didn’t check a single box for Hillary Clinton.
Dixville Notch, an unincorporated community of 12 as of the 2010 Census, cast four votes for Vermont senator Bernie Sanders and zero for Clinton. On the GOP side, John Kasich received three votes and Donald Trump got two. The northern New Hampshire village has four registered Republicans, four “Undeclareds,” and one Democrat.
Two other communities participated in the tradition. More from the New Hampshire Union Leader:
In all, 65 votes were cast. Sanders led the Democratic contest with 17 votes to Clinton’s 9. Kasich, Trump and Ted Cruz were tied among all Republicans with 9 votes a piece.
According to the Union Leader, the early voting dates to 1948 in Hart’s Location and 1952 in Millsfield. But those communities have had an off-and-on relationship with the practice, whereas it’s been a continuous process in Dixville since 1960.
It’s tiny in impact, but mighty in reputation.
