Dixville Notch has a tradition of first-in-the-nation voting that dates back to 1960, with the results announced just a few minutes after midnight.

the above is no longer true, but the town is still first in its state.

With such a tiny sample of voters, the results are not typically indicative of how an election will end up. But they do provide for an early curiosity.

The six registered voters of tiny Dixville Notch in New Hampshire all cast their ballots for Nikki Haley at midnight on Tuesday, giving her a clean sweep over former President Donald Trump and all the other candidates.

There were 4 republican and 2 independent voters. The latter could have chosen either republican or democratic ballots, but since the state is all in a tiff about not being the first primary anymore, the state kept Biden off the ballot (you could still write him in) and the TWO independent voters opted for the republican ballots where they chose Nikki.
